The Food Life v50 x Cellphone Pics

Been a long time since our last Food Life post, but that doesn't mean that we stopped cooking and eating. Often, in the moment of intense hunger there is no time to reach for the Nikon and a telephone photograph will have to do. Below is a swift assortment from the past few weeks.

We got delicious lunch truck tacos. Meatballs/risotto/Parmesan and roasted tomatoes from the Meatball Shop. Soup and half sandwich from a lil cafe in Dumbo. Spicy lamb cumin flat noodles from Xi'an Famous Foods. Lil turkey/jack/tomato/romaine on wheat. A pastrie of sorts from god knows where. A sausage/pepperoni/prosciutto Stromboli from Forinos. Lil big steak with tomatoes and Italian peppers. A lil Pho with beef, spicy as shit. Dollar dumplings from el China town. And a roasted peppers/chicken/fresh mozzarella pizza from some bombass spot in 'burg.

Food life is back in a major way.

The Food Life V46 - iPhone Pics

Sometimes there is an amazing food photo opportunity but you just don't have the right camera with you or you're just too damn hungry to whip it out. Camera phone to the rescue. Whether its some fancy french brunch, some much talked about japanese street food, some precious chicken curry puffs from your favorite thai joint, a icecold pint of some refreshing whtie beer, some lamb shishkebobs inbetween slurps of a veal dumpling soup at a uzbek spot or just a plain ol' sausage egg and cheese on a onion bagel before a downhill session - things need to be captured and shared. Too bad the camera is never there when I'm doing mean sets of situps.

C2D Viewer Submitted Photo Contest

There comes a time when a ballerific website such as ours needs to step back, take a look at what we’ve achieved, and then give back to the little people that got us here.    For every gold plated drug kingpin 45 Accatone buys we need to think about young Jimmy in Nebraska clickin on those ad’s.   Whenever Curtis adds another tricked out 50cc scooter to his collection, we need to thank Javier down in Lima (global shun!).   I won’t go into details on the interns and their trips to the NAMBLA districts of Thailand, but I will remind them that this is their final warning.  And me?  I don't have any vices...

The point I am trying to drive home here, is that we need to give back, and what better way than with a user submitted photo contest.   The theme, to take a picture that captures the C2D spirit.   Send it in, we’ll post em up, and have all the viewers vote in a poll.   The winner will get a prize pack full of hip T-shirts, hip hop musical CDs, reggae musical CDs, stickers, maybe some sweat bands, etc…     (the last contest winner won 2 pairs of sneakers and some books!!)   Original photos only, none of that google image search shit.   Send pics and your info to createtodestroy@gmail.com

And yes, “the spirit of C2D” means you can send in photos of whatever the hell you want, so have fun with it.   We’ll be accepting submissions for 30 days, so get em in while you can (July 22nd).  Multiple submissions are allowed.   Voting will take place once all submissions are posted up.
