I am currently attending Evergreen College. I have been studying the aesthetics of kitchens, domestic spaces, and food through photography and psychology. I will be posting my work on this website to get feedback and spread my photos to the greater population.

Dinner for one?

As I am sitting at my kitchen table, I am observing one of my roommates eating habits. She made a sandwich consisting of salami, 2 fried eggs, pesto, cheese, cheese, and bacon. She chats with me idly about the previous nights events. It’s interesting how when humans eat they usually want to chat or fill the empty space with some sort of noise, like t.v., radio, or music. I wonder why people struggle to be alone while they are eating? A lot of people struggle being alone all the time, but I know a lot of instances where it is meals that really get people feeling down. Maybe it’s because it’s easy to deny the feeling of being alone until you are faced with only yourself and you can’t deny what is reality any longer. Maybe it is simply the fact that you have no one to share your meal with. Sometimes I purposely seclude myself from friends during meals so I can observe my own feelings during this time. Even though I thoroughly enjoy eating alone sometimes, I can feel myself becoming a little less enthused. When I was a teenager we had family dinners every day and I was never allowed to watch television while eating. When I was left to my own devices for dinner that was ALL I would do. There was no question, I would sit myself in front of the T.v. with a big late of microwave nachos, and I was in complete bliss. I think as you get older it is easy to be more receptive of being alone and maybe not have a choice about it.
