Seattle-based photojournalist and writer Christopher Boffoli’s big imagination manifests itself in tiny, delicious ways. His most recent photo collection, called Big Appetites, shows lifelike figures (from 1/48 to 1/100 scale) in a variety of very-human pickles (pun intended) interacting with the one thing all people have in common: an affinity for food. From the crime scene around the squished blackberry to the seaman trying to wrangle the deadly claws of a giant ocean beast (aka, a crawdad), Boffoli’s scenes are imaginative, humorous, and sure to make your tummy growl. In addition to seeing his photographic efforts published in over 90 countries worldwide, Boffoli’s latest show, Edible Worlds, is currently on display at the Winston Wächter Gallery on West 25th in New York City.

[quote] I think it is especially resonant with children because as a child you live in an adult world that is out of scale with your body and proportions. And you constantly exercise your imagination around a world of toys that are further out of scale. As a child I was an avid collector of Matchbox cars, a model railroader and a builder of models (cars, ships and airplanes). I was fascinated, as many children and adults are, with tiny, meticulously detailed things.” [/quote]
