Methods (Draft 1)

I took my pictures in the middle room of the Worcester Dining Commons, at a long table on the left side (if facing the sandwich bar) about halfway down the room. I selected an apple from the basket in the Asian room (Oak Room). The apple I selected was small enough to comfortably in the palm of my hand, and was irregularly shaped despite my efforts to pick an apple that was as uniform as possible. I took pictures of the apple with a ruler placed in front of it for scale, then took pictures of the subject who would be eating the apple holding the same ruler. The subject was a friend of mine who agreed to help. I asked the subject to sit facing the windows, so that when taking the pictures my back would be to the light. This was intended to reduce the amount of glare in the pictures and increase visibility of the subject. To document the interspecies interaction, I asked the subject to take a bite out of the apple. I had him facing away from me and towards the tv so that I could take the picture in profile, ensuring that he, the apple, and the interaction between them would be clearly visible. I documented the aftermath of the interaction (the apple with a bite taken out of it) in the same manner as previously, with the ruler placed in front of it for scale, making sure that the bite was clearly visible in the photo.
