How Bout a Burrito at My Favorite Place?
This is one of the first social projects I documented. I've never dragged it out until now.
For this project, "How Bout a Burrito at My Favorite Place?," I posted an ad on craigslist.org asking people to join me for a burrito at my favorite taco truck in Oakland, CA. We met up at a specified time and ordered together. After ordering, I took a picture of my meal date with their food. We then ate together, discussing whatever. When we finished, I took a photo of their “burrito sculpture,” (a.k.a their trash).
It's nice to see a person, take into account what they do and who they are, and then see how they fidget with thier leftover food and trash eventually completing a sculpture.

I had to put this project to an end because I received over 900 requests and I ate burritos 2-3 times a day which made me really fat.
