Description Coffee and Sugar, a BW photo which is NOT BW!

This is a very light version of an idea I've had for a long time and of which I was reminded while chatting about coffee with *engridearty
The light version will have to do for the time being as the original idea is a bit difficult for me not to shoot but to set up.

tech stuff
None! Just had to use the flash to minimize drop shadows and to roast (burn to be precise) the coffee grains within an inch of their life! At least the smell was nice!

Coffee was a pivot-point since I was a teenager (I worked in a bakers - didn't see much daylight, the habit lasted years longer than the job! )

it seems to be a passion as much as a commitment! Your work (although not what I'm usually 'into') has a wonderful feel to it, a great exemplar of its type - keep it going! I grew up on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall - our wrecks didn't last very long! (the sea 'ate' them) Very good pics!

Ohh, shhhhh! How could i miss this one is beyond comprehension! (bangshead)

Being now on a third day of a lovely coffee deprivation spree, this piece comes right on time for me to ponder on.

One word - Excellent!

justeline In reply to menca [2010-05-20 15:40:55 +0000 UTC]

I really hope the coffee deprivation spree has come to an end mate, these are dangerous experiments, they may turn your brilliant brain to a mushy pulp. I know that's what happened to mine (not that it was brilliant at any point of its short existence!)

Thank you my friend!

menca In reply to justeline [2010-05-20 21:01:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, i was a bit short on cash.. if I remember correctly now. Blew it on some hardware, or somesuch crap

Tho the coffee deprivation ended for some others rather funky reasons

And no worries, the praise you get for this one is fully justified. Lovely stuff even without the deprivation spazms

coulombic In reply to justeline [2010-04-21 07:13:08 +0000 UTC]

You know, I'm basically forced to respond the same way, every time you respond to me? "OMG, my favorite DA hottie!" Yes, this is the case. Once again, the clouds have opened, and the light has shone through, and it's all because of you.

I've been well, aside from not being able to take pictures of anything overly interesting. I'm living in Iraq at the moment, visually bored out of my mind. As far as the eye can see, there's nothing to be seen. Awful.

Maybe I'll stop by Greece in a few months and kidnap you. . .

haha, my hard-to-discourage friend with a major in complimenting is back!
(actually I'm back, but never mind)

Sorry to hear about your boring condition (i've read about it in the description of one of your deviations too). Hope you can escape soon, I guess that after Colorado it's too difficult to be impressed and inspired by Iraq.

Too afraid to ask about the ransom
