one in a series of food that takes the shape of its container
120, 2007, bloomington, can, film, food, fuji, fujicolorpro160c, fujifilm, indiana, mediumformat, mf, pineapple, slices, tlr, yashicamat124g
Are they the shape of their container or is the container the shape of the slices?
true, the pineapple is a naturally cylindrical fruit, but with canned pineapple each slice is exactly the same—they’ve been perfectly shaped in order to fit the container.
this set made me starving. (piƱa coladas…)
I think there would be a lot of waste on the pineapple just for it to fit a specific size (ie tin). So, for convenience, we create waste.
However, you are an adept photographer and these pics are very nice.
I would imagine that scraps are used in other products.
Awesome series, this shot is well done.
Canned ground beef or corned beef hash also retains the shape of its container.
spam? sardines? uh, pringles. canned ham. vienna sausages.
this is a pretty smart idea…
i wish i could favortie this whole set!~ a simple fav!~ keep on keeping on!~
