Not Food
Things Google Photos thinks is food when I search for "food" in my camera roll. Some are understandable, most are not at all.
Text descriptions found in paragraphs following each image.
Photograph of a yellow saucepan containing fake plastic green peas.
Really zoomed-in photograph of an ashtray containing a cigarette butt and some keys. Yummy.
A basalt Isamu Noguchi sculpture from above. Half-sphere of dark stone with two intersecting channels carved through it.
Photograph of a heavily used pink scrub daddy (sponge in shape of a smiley face) that looks like it's screaming for help.
Photograph of a pile of wet soil filled with worms. I think I took this during the vermicomposting workshop where the presenter said "if they die it doesn't matter because they don't have names." Huh??
Sultry photograph of a lit lips-shaped tea candle floating in a bowl of water.
Photograph of a sculpture made of a piece of decoratively-turned wood tightly wrapped in stitched leather. Piece 304 at the Museum for Art in Wood.
A wet photograph of my to-go coffee cup with the Capital One bank logo printed on it, but I scratched off some letters so it just says "alOne." I got it for free at the capital one cafe in philadelphia on earth day lol. It's made of bamboo or something.
Photograph of a glass tupperware container containing a large yellow pouch which is a scam dessicant I bought on amazon with company money. It doesn't work.
Photo of my 11-year-old aeropress that all the numbers rubbed off of so I re-drew them as little pink hearts with a paint marker.
Product photo of the pill organizer I own, which looks like a to-go coffee mug but it's full of pills.
Photograph of an empty weed bag labeled "choco-covered banana marshmallow." That cornerstore got fined for selling the bags I think, they used to have a large assortment. Choco-covered banana marshmallow weed sounds crazy though.
Photo of a wall mural featuring an unmade bed in a red room, with a circular painting of a blooming tree branch above it and a red staircase to its left, turning into nowhere.
Extended notes: this was in a bedroom of my parents' house, but they covered it shortly after they bought the house in 1995. That bedroom later became my childhood bedroom, and the mural is still hidden beneath its paint. My thumb is visible in the corner because I was holding the print when I took the picture of it.
This image is also on the homepage of my main website.
Photograph of a flask that literally says "POISON" and "Cleaner - Rifle Bore" on it. The opposite of food.
Photo of a trophy of a golden hoagie found at Cosmi's Deli. It reads "Deer Park Spring Water Philly's Best Hoagie Contest 2nd Runner Up 2024."
Product photograph of some kind of rock or crystal that to be honest looks a lot like meat encased in a thick glass box. Not sure where this is from.
Photograph of three stools that look like stacked sweethearts candy. They read "I LOVE YOU" right where you would sit.
Photograph of my hand holding my own extracted wisdom teeth. Delicious.
Photograph of my hand holding a freshly-hatched bird's egg, and you can see all the dark veins and stuff inside it.
Photo of a blue toy pickup truck hauling a teacup full of hair. Was a piece in a Fleisher Wind Challenge exhibition from last summer, but I don't remember the artist's name and can't figure it out.
