As I was taking pictures for project 2 I came up with my idea for project 4.
In coming up with a method for taking pictures, I found myself gravitating towards taking photos of items I consume on a daily basis. Over the course of the next week, I'm not allowed to eat, drink or generally consume anything without photographing it first.
Well...
While in a rush between work and school, I found myself precariously trying to photograph my Wendy's double cheeseburger much to the confusion of a neighboring car. I made it do an apologetic little dance and thought "jeeze. I really need to be carted off to the loony bin sometime soon." BUT- it did get me thinking that I could create a livejournal community called "play with your food."
In this community, I could post regular photographs of food that I played with and created into some kind of "food art." (for example: Mondrian inspired fruit roll-ups.) I would then ask other members of the community to post similar photos and to share if their work has any meaning/influences/implications. It essentially would be a food art gallery with a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor (hopefully) :)
The best part would be if participants would approach it with any sense of seriousness - which I will promote by playing moderator and critiquing their work as well as my own.
