Photographer Mark Menjivar Lives the Dream (Spends Four Years Looking In Other People’s Refrigerators)

Via Slate, here’s “You Are What You Eat,” a project that photographer Mark Menjivar describes as portraiture, in which he captures the refrigerator contents of strangers across America. The terse write-ups for each subject (“Delicatessen Attendant | Daphne, AL | 4-Person Household | Disowned by parents for marrying a black man”) make for a startling, fascinating juxtaposition with the food they lean on, and in the Slate piece, Menjivar revisits some of his subjects four years later to find many of their refrigerators drastically changed.
