Capture a food story you've only heard or read about.

ASSIGNMENT

Capture a badass photo of food that tells a story— one you've only read about or heard about, until now. By choosing something slightly unfamiliar, your final images will be your own true vision.

Consider:

A moment in history
Books and song lyrics
Social or religious traditions
Celebrity rituals
Personal family stories

Want more prompts? I've attached a PDF with specific ideas — e.g. “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” by Billy Joel, your parents' wedding dinner — and included links below. Can't wait to see you beat me at my own game!

DELIVERABLE

Share your project in the Project Gallery. Bonus points for behind-the-scenes pics! Include:

Final photo (shot with any camera you'd like)
A short blurb about the story you're telling

Don't wait to post your project all at once — post your initial ideas for feedback, and update it over time.
