This time with a black background. Fun stuff!
My Lovely Wife thinks these look like pills. They are Tic-Tacs.
These, too, look a bit odd. They are also Tic-Tacs but someone asked me if they were lizard eggs. Um, I hope not.
The gum was fun to play with and getting it to stand like that was a challenge.
I have really been enjoying my recent candy photography assignments. For one thing, candy is just plain fun – fun to eat, fun to look at and fun to photograph. The bright colors are exciting, especially since they are not really found in nature together in the area where I reside.
Here are some more candy photos I did recently. I will be doing more shortly and will post those as soon as they are ready.

I just came across this photo on my hard drive. It’s one of my all-time favorites I have done, especially my favorite from my trip to Thailand in 2003. My wife and I had hired a driver to take us around Phuket for the day. I think a full day of driving cost something in the neighborhood of 1000 Baht, which was roughly equal to $25 at the time.
The driver said he knew a back way to get to wherever our next stop was and mentioned that along the way there was a big Buddha statue. Did we want to go? My only concern was my wife having to put up with me oohing and ahhing over another temple. But other than that, yes, we wanted to go.
We went into the mountains in the center of the island and along a very curvy road until we got to the temple. We came around the corner and there it was – probably about 40 to 50 feet tall from its base. We climbed the stairs and I took this picture. It was a beautiful place.
If you are going to Thailand and want to visit this temple, just let me know and I will dig out the name. It is hard to find, not one of the more popular attractions, despite its beauty. If you want general information about Thailand, I can give that as well. It’s one of my favorite countries and I love to help people plan their visits.
Do you love this photo as much as I do? Please go vote for it to be in JPG Magazine.
Note: This was from back in my film days, when I was shooting Fuji Velvia ISO 50 slide film. Shot with a Pentax K1000 with a 28mm lens.

Here is Part Two of my interview with Vasara. She describes her ankle spikes and goes into more detail about her New Mexico tattoo as well. At the end, she finishes by talking about future tattoo plans and more generally about what her ink means to her.
Vasara, a local model based in Alexandria, came by to participate in my tattoo project. She has some really interesting work on her and was a blast to meet and talk to. Are you interested in participating? Just let me know and we will work out a time for you to talk about your ink.
For some reason my garden put out only a few fruits this year and then withered and died, despite my caring, experienced hand. I did get a few small cucumbers, though, which I enjoyed photographing and my lovely enjoyed eating.
I guess that’s probably it for the produce shots until next spring, or unless I find something really beautiful at the supermarket.
