[Photograph: Alastair Levy] Something about receiving a big raw vegetable in the mail sounds way more appealing than a flat paper envelope. Maybe it's the whole image of a mailman stuffing it into the letter drop. This was taken by UK photographer Alastair Levy. [via Swiss Miss] Related Video: The Juiced Carrots So many carrots!

(If the concept looks familiar, you have probably seen Minimiam by Akiko Ida and Pierre Javelle.)...

Irving Penn, "Frozen Food (with String Beans)" 1977. Photographer Irving Penn died yesterday morning in New York City, where he lived and worked. Though Penn became widely known at first for his fashion photography for Vogue magazine starting in the 1940s, he later gained entry to the fine-art world with his striking still lifes of cigarette butts, sidewalk detritus, and animal skulls. But perhaps the one image I think of almost immediately upon hearing Penn's name is this 1977 photograph, "Frozen Food (with String Beans)," which lends the icy blocks of fruits and vegetables a certain elegance you'd never imagine they'd have. Every time I open my freezer and see a package of frozen vegetables sitting there, I imagine...

Nothing like a good ol' sporting goods store kegger to get the party started! Photograph from Keggers of Yore. I've never been to a kegger, but now I don't have to; I can just browse through the photos at Keggers of Yore and live vicariously through these nameless intoxicated partygoers! (Waning: some photos NSFW.) [via conky]...

posadaphoto.com "What makes taco trucks unique is the people; the people that work in them and the patrons that visit them. They bring life to streets that otherwise might be dead. The flicker of the grill, the fluorescent lights, the smell of carne asada and people gathered around food enriches the urban experience of many people in Los Angeles." —Juan Posada, taco truck photographer, in an interview on California Taco Trucks...

Yup, that's me. Photograph from Sifu Renka on Flickr I'm one of those people who always whips out a camera when I eat out for possible blogging purposes (besides that I'll forget what I've done if I don't take photos—food-related or not). While my friends are pretty used to it—they sit back when the food arrives until they're sure I've taken all my shots—the other people in the restaurant probably aren't. One part of me thinks, "I hope I'm not annoying other people too much," while the other part thinks, "Oh god, I just need one good shot of this burger...no, that was bad, I need another [moves the burger]...and another [moves the burger]..." Helena Echlin of CHOW's column Table...

Photographs by Mark Menjivar Until recently, I was sharing a kitchen with three other girls in a far away city. Despite any stereotype to the contrary, our kitchen—and especially our fridge—was a mess. Bags of fresh grapes were placed on the top shelf and plates of unfinished food were shoved in uncovered. It got to the point were I wouldn't even be able to hold the door open long enough to get out some juice, much less take a picture of the contents. But photographer Mark Menjivar was able to do just that in kitchens across the country. In a series called "You Are What You Eat," viewable at GOOD and markmenjivar.com, he photographed the contents of refrigerators, from...
