Hungry Planet — What the World Eats?

Germany, Bargteheide

The Melander family spends around $568 per week.

Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluision traveled the world exploring how the eating habits differ from country to country and presented their results in a photo album, called Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. The wife and husband’s team visited 24 different countries and 30 families to photograph them at home, at the market, and surrounded by their weekly food supplies. Apart from being interesting and educative, the project brings up some social issues. The exposed weekly grocery list provides information not only about dietary habits, but also about health, economy, lifestyle, etc. It also clearly shows the division between the first world and the developing countries. Interestingly, less affluent families eat more nutritious food than those who could actually afford it.

Spectacular Day and Night Composite Shots of Major Cities

Day to Night is a spectacular ongoing series by fine art photographer Stephen Wilkes featuring urban landscapes that transcend the confines of time by presenting day and night shots of iconic cityscapes in one image. Using up to 1,500 images from a 15-hour shoot day (from sunrise to sunset), Wilkes takes about a month to edit his shots into one composite image that reveals the gradience of time.

Each photo manipulation presents a striking look at a major city from the crack of dawn till nightfall. As natural sunlight washes over the brilliant, booming landscape and recedes to allow the artificial glow of the architecture and streetlights to take over the night sky, we're given a sense of each city's appeal throughout the course of a day. There's also a rich sense of history and culture captured through the passage of time, reflected in each seamlessly transitioning shot.

The photographer says, "The images are so layered; there are so many elements that I love about the medium: Street, history, people environment, narrative, and storytelling. I'm drawn to cities that have not only fantastic architecture, but also fascinating street life. The human narrative is the subtext in a lot of my photographs, so the more you look at it, the more you are going to discover." Having already taken on some of the biggest cities—including New York City, Washington DC, and Shanghai—Wilkes looks forward to adding the iconic cityscapes of Chicago, London, and Paris to the growing series. 15 more images after the break...
