the foodstory

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

The idea is to make a documentary based on food, so initially I wanted to collect one complete week of food of different people - in different places, with different occupation and so on …. as I had to figure out later, by starting with this … it’s actually not so easy to take a picture of every meal during one week. Sometimes I forgot my camera, or I simply forgot to use it and so on  …. so now after three weeks I made it to have one complete week without gap …

judging from the small feedback I received from other people, they were facing similar problems … or simply found it too bothering ….

however, I don’t give up so easily. So I will post my week of food and anybody who finds it interesting shall feel free to do the same and send me the pictures, so that i can make a nice collection and publish them together …

Please!!!

There are not much guidelines… basically just pictures of all food consumption during one week … u can include drinks or leave it … u can provide descriptions or write whole stories or leave it (but at least i need the weekday for each meal) u can use any kind of camera: analog, digital, mobile… doesn’t matter, but of course the better the quality and resolution the better … now my example:
