On the first episode of THE FOOD SEEN in 2012, Caren Alpert, a San Francisco based photographer, takes a closer look at food … a much closer look. She uses a scanning electron microscope for her “terra cibus” project, magnifying the surfaces of food between ten and a thousand times, abstracting their textures, making them seems as if they were bird’s eye views of otherwordly landscapes. Table salt looks like ice floes, cauliflower resembles a canyon/chasm, fortune cookies turn into tributaries, and my favorite, cake sprinkles.

Oh, Canada. Spent last week in Montreal the Lumiere Festival, and only now have I digested enough to post my BACK OF THE HOUSE photos from a tremendous Head to Tail dinner at Chef Derek Dammann’s DNA restaurant, with Chef Chris Cosentino (of Incanto in San Francisco). Here’s the menu:
Horse heart tartare, horse fat fries, hay-oli, horse suet brioche
2 hr egg, hot blood mousse, peasant pappa, smoked eel
Lamb pluck fra diavolo
Big brain, little brain
Chocolate-n’duja ice cream, chicken candies
Quite an amazing experience, between awe-inspiring and unforgettable meals at Joe Beef, Au Pied De Cochon, and Martin Picard’s Cabane A Sucre, I’d say I’m still stuffed.
I was asked to contribute to the CNN Eatocracy 5×5 blog, and in keeping with food photography, came up with, “Five Cookbooks That Changed How We Look At Food, Plus Photography Tips”. Enjoy, and do tell which books you’d add, and what photo techniques you’d want to know more about.
Serious Eats, a seriously awesome food blog and community, wrote a wonderful profile about food photography journey
