Nice One, Umi Sushi

Spotted on the DoorDash app: A local sushi place picks the absolutely gnarliest, hardest core piece of sushi to feature as their thumbnail. Friggin' sea urchin is only for a select few (including myself).

DoorDash Photography Entry

Protip for DoorDashers: When taking a photo of the delivered food, avoid using a flash so you don't capture the terrifying eyes of the resident's scary but harmless dog in the window:

New EADJ Segment: DoorDash Photography Critique!

This new segment will offer a balanced critique of Doordash (and sometimes Amazon) delivery photography, examining the composition, lighting and overall aesthetic beauty of their shots. Three factors that will be at the center of each critique are intent, skill, and consistency. Let's begin:

"Dunkin Donuts" by Miguel from DoorDash

It's pretty apparent that Miguel has a good eye for composition. He clearly understands the Rule of 3s, allowing the neatly stacked Dunkin bag to take up a good third of the horizontal space. And whether by luck or design, Miguel has allowed the dappled light of sunrise through the tree leaves to enhance the dimensionality of the bag, casting a stark shadow against the wall that echoes the shape of the mailbox. Exquisite!

A random detail: The initials "WCM" appear to be spelt in the leaf shadows at the bottom. A mystery!

Overall grade: A-

Although Miguel didn't incorporate the theme of donuts in his photo, the overall effect is truly artistic and worthy of prominent wall space in the DoorDash Gallery in Washington, DC.

Today We Critique A DoorDasher's Photography

 I just got notice that some food was delivered:

It might be a good time to examine the DoorDasher's work here:

DoorDasher "Miguel" has done something extraordinary here– he's managed to feature two main focal points(the mailbox and the food) that instead of fight each other create a harmonic balance.

Beyond the basic functional photographic proof of the food being delivered and the inclusion of my home address number, Miguel proves to be a master of composition, tension, and drama.

Aware of the "rule of thirds" in photography, Miguel has masterfully placed the Burger King bag right on the  lower third horizontal line. He's made good use of the edge of the table, creating a diagonal that points toward the mailbox to direct your eye. Also, either by design or serendipity, the vine and plant branches behind all converge back toward the DoorDash food, continuing the endless visual loop.

Grade: A+++

A masterpiece of DoorDasher photography. Perhaps its finest example yet.

A Series of Job Interview Questions That Don't Make It Clear Whether You're Interviewing for Jordache or Doordash

Let's say you're at a job interview and you somehow forget which company you were there to interview for– Jordache Jeans or Doordash. Here now are some questions the recruiter would ask you that would NOT help you figure that out:

"Are you willing to do the necessary legwork?"

"What kind of manager are you? Do you have drive? And can you seize the reins of a project?"

"Do you like helping serve customers, finding the right fit for them?"

"We're like a family here. Do you think you could get along?"

"You must have plenty of enthusiasm at this job. Bursting at the seams, in fact!"

"Our brand is well known. But we're all about growth."

"Meet our project managers– Jean and Tugo."

"When can you start? Can you hit the ground running?"

"We do have casual Fridays, although that won't matter because it's all remote now!"
