When is a yam not a yam?

Go on, touch it

Saturday afternoon grocery runs in a college town mean aisles clogged with students and parents debating the merits of regular Kraft Dinner vs. the upmarket white cheese version.

It also means an ultra-fast smartphone photo shoot in the vegetable section, where some of those very same students and parents watch with bemused smiles as I zero in in on a particularly texture-rich pile of yams.

At least I think they’re yams. [CORRECTION: I’ve been informed these are beets. I have zero veggie cred.] Doesn’t matter either way, because precision takes a back seat to the fact that my little photo sesh makes complete strangers smile a little.

And in case we haven’t been paying attention, Planet Earth is a bit of a Dumpster fire these days, so we could all use an excuse - any excuse, really - to smile.

I’m using my smartphone to make that happen. What’s your tool of choice?
