The reason why sharing is chosen as the concept of the
photo book is because I think sharing food with another
person is an intimate act that should be capture down as
it is such a sweet and joyful thing to indulge in with
especially with your loved ones.
3. Places of
Interest
PAPA JOHNS
When I first thought of using sharing as my concept, I brainstormed about
what kind of food is normally shared and pizza was the first thing that
popped into my mind. This is because Malaysians normally like to share
their pizzas instead of eating a whole pizza by themselves. So, I asked a few
course mates of mine to go to Papa Johns in Sunway Pyramid with me
because it is one of the nearest pizza restaurant to our university.
PJS 7 GROCERY SHOP & PLAYGROUND
The second idea was suggested to me by my tutor. She suggested me to get
some popsicles or ice-creams and enjoy them with my friends and capture
the moment down. And so me and my friends got some old style popsicles
from a grocery shop in pjs7 and went to a playground nearby to take some
photos.
HOHO STEAMBOAT RESTAURANT
Lastly, I also thought that steamboat is a type of food that was meant to be
shared and it is also one of the local Malaysian chineses favourite. I went
to a steamboat restaurant near my house and took photos of people and
my family sharing food.
