Before I explain what you see below, take some time to look at these photos without having context or description. What do you see and what do you feel? Now that you have reviewed the images, does it surprise you to know that they are all food and beverage? Perhaps you could easily see the chicken egg with its familiar …
Fashionable Chicago
Chicago is full of fashionable residents and tourists. On a beautiful Saturday, Buckingham Fountain and the Riverwalk are perfect spots to enjoy summer (in style)! This weekend also marks the 56th Annual Chicago Air & Water Show so the beaches and lakefront are hopping with aviation enthusiasts. See More Tourist Photos: Touristosaurus
Waterworks : Fun with Food Coloring

Even though it was really fun, it was more than just play – I wanted to capture some interesting backgrounds and shapes and investigate the time lapse options on my camera.

How-to : Soap Sculpture
Neat freaks take note – you can create a very interesting effect for the price of two soaps! I recently purchased a glass soap dispenser from Target. (If you want the same one, you can find it here.) The very little remaining soap in the plastic dispenser (slowly) dripped into its new home. Then I opened up the new refill …
