It's funny how things sometimes come together... I'm currently reading "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan and I'm really interested in this idea of food as a chiefly cultural and social affair as opposed to a means of losing or gaining weight. {This book is making me realize that I define food almost entirely by it's calorie/carb content and not it's many other components.}
Anyway, today I stumbled upon the work of Penny De Los Santos - a photojournalist and food photographer. I love her work and the way she reveals so much about her subjects in the foods present in different cultures.
Take a look at a video here on the blog cannell et vanille.
Her website is worth some time going through photos - Penny De Los Santos.
Thanks for sharing. Penny's video and website both very interesting. I have always been interested in the social, environmental, and spiritual connections of food and eating, and now the photographic side of it. Have a wonderful week.
