breakfast

We often forget how interestingly different people really are. More accurately, we forget that, even among those people to whom we feel most connected with , there lie minute differences.

In no place is this more evident than in John Huck's "Breakfast" photo series. Our expectations based on a person's snapshot may be inaccurate when we see the breakfast. Or, for that matter, it may be spot on; what can that tell us about our observations?

Perhaps, more importantly, what does breakfast have to do with user experience? Apart from the meticulous attention I might give to personal preparation methods and dish preference, a more general-yet-valuable analysis may note the size of the common breakfast (and its relevance to the size of the common lunch for a foodservice client), the importance of coffee to the common morning (for a storefront or office breakroom looking to accommodate its visitors) or the ratio of portable to "sit-down" meals (for a waste management or public transportation client).

What did you have for breakfast today? And what was your experience?
