In the Fridge

I've always been particularly drawn to grocery stores as a subject for photography on my travels. There's just something about the perfectly aligned goods and repeated patterns and colors that makes the mundane come alive. So it was interesting to see photographer Mark Menjivar’s documentation of people's refrigerators. You never see the people in his photographs, but you can't help but wonder what your fridge says about you. Check the full set with one-liner descriptions of the owners HERE (don't miss the rattlesnake in the freezer!). {via GOOD}
This project also reminds me of Peter Menzel's photo project: what the world eats.

Love this post and the first photograph was my refrigerator before married life. I used the kitchen as another storage area.

These are so neat...I always feel such a sense of gratification when I have a fully stocked and organized fridge.
