This week, we’re focusing on **foodies** — not just food, but the entire scene around it. **Think of the street as a living menu:** people eating on the street, restaurant queues, vendors preparing food, people choosing what to eat from street menus, friends sharing snacks, someone eating alone, or the messes left behind. Food is personal, social, cultural — and it’s everywhere. Your goal is to photograph moments with gestures, textures, expressions, and choices. **Photo the menus or the decor**, the patrons or the suppliers. **You don't have to shoot people—shoot *things* if you want.** Walk through the crowd with a 21mm if you're comfortable, maybe walk it again with something longer—it's your comfort level and goal here. **What to Look For:** * **Vendors at work** — grilling, stirring, chopping, plating * **Customers making decisions** — reading menus, pointing, hesitating * **People eating** — joy, satisfaction, hunger, or even disappointment. Maybe it's just messy. * **The queues!** — really, who waits like this? * **Hands and details** — passing food, seasoning, holding a bite mid-air, stuff on a stick or plate * **Food presentation** — colorful dishes, messy wrappers, half-eaten plates * **Cultural context** — small sidewalk eateries and storefronts, local diners (Korean, Japanese) street carts, the wet market * **Social dynamics** — who eats with whom, who prepares, who waits This is not about just food photography — it’s about capturing the relationship with food—from a wet market on Yin Chong Street, to eating on Dundas. **Your Mission:** * Look for **moments of interaction** — between people and food, or between people through food * Get close — **textures and expressions** matter * **Be in the crowd**, or spy from a distance * **Check out the date scene while couples talk** * Capture **decisions and reactions** — curiosity, craving, satisfaction * Don’t forget **the environment** — signs, carts, the person at the door or counter Food is one of the most universal human experiences. Let’s see what **taste** looks like on these streets — raw, real, and delicious. **We will meet at the end of Sai Yeung Choi at Dundas, between Aeon and the park. 3pm.** There are dozens and dozens of street food venues **along Dundas all the way to Fa Yuen** (don't forget Tung Choi Street—behind both sides of the Ladies Market), to Soy. Theres not much north of Soy but there's good hunting east and west. **There's a map** of the suggested area to cover. Theres a wet market on Yin Chong indicated as well. Take any path to cover this area, **or choose another area—up to you.** Go to Nathan, just be sure to meetup again at 4:30. **Regroup at 4:30pm: J.Moon**, [Pakpolee Commercial Centre](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=ae4ce0f14d76081b&sxsrf=ANbL-n7IduBTW0M4jI0x-n28O5dNwmz9vg:1770706396477&q=%E7%99%BE%E5%AF%B6%E5%88%A9%E5%95%86%E6%A5%AD%E4%B8%AD%E5%BF%83+Pakpolee+Commercial+Centre&ludocid=1931734430430165766&lsig=AB86z5W-sFEW18xmz7QUlm7BZ3YS&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjqzo2uq86SAxURefUHHVZ3DYIQ8G0oAHoECEAQAQ) [Address](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=ae4ce0f14d76081b&sxsrf=ANbL-n7IduBTW0M4jI0x-n28O5dNwmz9vg:1770706396477&q=j.moon+lounge+address&ludocid=1454164187082053345&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjqzo2uq86SAxURefUHHVZ3DYIQ6BN6BAg7EAI): Unit 410-411, 4/F, Pakpolee Commercial Centre, 1A Sai Yeung Choi St S, Mong Kok Please stay a while to share your experience, thoughts, and maybe some images while grabbing a drink (or more). **After all this:** Please post 5-10 of your images from the shoot (depending upon turn-out). And PLEASE, be a participant in commenting on other images. Gut reactions and general comments are always welcome. Comments can be subject-related, but better are those that address image-making. It's part of the process and valuable for your fellow photographers. Remember to be considerate of a possible wait list, and be sure to mark "won't attend" at least 8 hours before the shoot if you sign up and need to drop.

This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

Drake Lundstrom is presenting: Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone Abstract: Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices?

The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need! If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo. Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
