The Things Found Series: The Fridge

Art House Co-op is hosting a series called The Things Found. Here is the info for this week....

Volume One: The Fridge
The Things Found Series is the beginning of a new photography series that encourages participants to capture an image of a common space. This week, we’re challenging artists to shed a little light on one of the most personal spaces of all… the refrigerator. Open your fridge and take a photo of the inside in all its glory. Don’t worry if it isn’t beautiful! We’ll create an exhibition from the photographs we receive that reveals the substance of our community — one everyday space at a time.

Here is my entry.

 I opted for black and white so that the typography becomes the focus. It's funny looking at this photo you would think we were obsessed with dairy products!

Happy Leap Year!

The Meal

"Nothing makes us feel connected quite like sharing a meal together. On February 24th at 12pm Eastern Standard Time, thousands of strangers from around the world will sit down for a bite in unison and capture a shared experience at the exact same time. Take a photograph of yourself with your meal and mail it back to us. These simultaneous snapshots – self-portraits of people and their foods – will be exhibited in our storefront project space and made available online. Our aim is to inspire a feeling of community across geographic and cultural boundaries. So wherever you may be on February 24th at 12pm, keep your camera handy and something delicious nearby – and remember that thousands of strangers, both near and far, are sharing that meal with you." - Art House Co-op

This project is intended to being awareness to world hunger. It is too late to participate in the exhibit but it's is never too late to participate in the solution! If you want to make a difference visit Action Against Hunger to find out what you can do.

I don't do self portraits very well so I only took a photo of my meal. I thought what would be more interesting is a photo of an empty plate so I took one of those too.
