Awesome

Catherine Chalmers is my hero. She raises animals and feeds them to each other while photographing the entire process. This is a concept with many facets ranging from intriguing to gross to natural to contrived, and any of her photos can bring out any of these things at any time, sometimes all at once. These pictures are intended to bring about consideration of the food chain, and it works. She also has a series of photographs starring American cockroaches and houseflies, among other creatures.

You can check out her photographs at her CatherineChalmers.com. You can listen to a great interview with Catherine on This American Life from 2005, which you can listen to for free here.
