Who did these?

These made-with-food photos were sent to me with no indication of who constructed the scenes or took the photos.  I think they deserve credit and attribution.  Does anyone know where they came from or who did them?  This situation reminds me of the unattributed photos flying around the Internet that come from Peter Menzel’s and Faith D’Aluisio’s prize-winning book, Hungry Planet.  I recognize photos from it immediately because I wrote the introduction to the book.  If you see photos of people posed in front of everything they ate in a week, they have been lifted from Hungry Planet.  So what about these?

Those are by the photographer Carl Warner. He’s brilliant, isn’t he?

Here’s a good article for his works:

The pictures are amazing. His imagination reminds me of the children’s book “Cloudy with a chance of meatballs”.

I saw them (some of them) on the BBC site back in January:

By the way, I recently read Hungry Planet. If I had a say in which books get read in a nutrition curriculum, this one would be included. And, as usual, your contribution was excellent.
