Every time I think of Ramen Noodle I get the image in my head of the American Beauty with the rose petals falling all over and her lying in a bed of petals with her hair sprawled out. I mean forget about pizza and hamburgers, I could be as bold to say that Ramen Noodle is almost as American as it gets. College Students survive on it, and colds flee from it. I feel sometimes it is the miracle cure! (that might just be the sodium high I have after eating it) So Ramen, this photo is for you! <3 you!
Day 5
American Noodle
(Yea I don’t know how I’m going to continue to top this…)

You’re not getting the true experience if you don’t mix it up a little… where’s the beef?

HAha, no way, I’m a Chicken Noodle girl all the way!

Is that scotch tape holding the noodles in place?

Again a good idea for an original photo. I regret just a little lack of sharpness and color a bit bland (but I like the idea: p)

This pic is making me want something, but it’s not Ramen

Sick and wrong…sick and wrong. Which of course means I love it.
First of all, I can’t imagine the budget for this shot. That’s at least $2 worth. And kudos for representing the top two Ramen brands: Maruchan and Nissin.
But I agree with you. Ramen is awesome. It helped me survive college (you live on it on studio nights when you’re awake for 24+ hour stretches). And even though I am more financially stable and no longer need to be as cheap…I can’t help but to go back to it every once in a while. But yes…the sodium is a little high. Oh well.
Fun shot…

There’s got to be some commercial value to that shot. I’m waiting for a new campaign…something like “just pure goodness” or something like that

I hear what you’re saying… Trust me, the idea in my head was WAY more grandiose. Execution was not easy… It was not really an easy self portrait by any means. But it’s only day 5 and so I have lots of time and room for improvement
Thanks for the feedback!

You rock. By far the best 365 I’ve seen on Twitter.

I think if I were to do this same photo I would receive a C & D from Nissin.

We get Top Ramen Noodles in India too. You really thought outside the box to compose this shot.Good one.

The funniest thing about this picture is that it most likely cost under $5 to produce.
