Camera Eats First
Fall 2024

Inspired by metal tupperware and traditional Korean lunchboxes, Camera Eats First reimagines the container as a mobile camera, capturing the experience of a meal in real time. Documenting meals, whether alone or shared, tell stories of specific moments and memories. By capturing these experiences and publishing them as a digital collection, the camera preserves cherished memories brought to us by food— moments that might otherwise get lost in the endless scroll of a camera roll.

In need of a bite before my bus back to Boston, I stopped by Hudson Bay Bagels, just a block or two away from my place.

Before heading out for the day, I stopped by a bakery that was close by for an overpriced scone and an iced oat milk latte.
