Scanwiches

Every once in a while someone comes along with a crazy idea that just might work.

Frans Johansson says that the best innovations are often an amalgam of two existing ideas or technologies that are melded together in a new and unique way.

With that definition at the top of your mind, allow me to present: scanwiches.

This is a site that provides what Anthony Bourdain would call "food porn" in a new and unique way...people (normally the site administrator, but some events allow others to provide content) provide a sandwich to be scanned by a color scanner. Then the image is posted along with a brief description of the lunch in question.

The scans, performed crisply with a stark black background look almost artistic.

Thanks to Julia Im for initially facebooking about this.
