I think we all enjoy peeking into the lives of others, especially strangers. Through the series You Are What You Eat, photographer Mark Menjivar snaps a portrait of his subjects by simply opening their refrigerators. Mark gives us only the subject’s profession, location, size of household and a brief one line description as clues into their lives as we explore the contents of their fridge.

I first shared this artist with my brother and it prompted our own refrigerator portraits. Excuse the horrible lighting, respond with your own portraits!

This is a fascinating and sometimes disheartening series. I think it was showing at Boston City Hall last year?
I love everything about this post.
