God love the photographers. They always have that lens up to their face looking at things in a way that is just so different from you and I. Take food for example. While we see a sausage and might ponder, and artist finds a way to convey it artistically.

With [photographic creativity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1), [a nice piece of salmon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farming-photographs) becomes a Concorde superjet, cauliflower erupts into a seemingly giant mushroom cloud, and so forth. God love the photographers.
