I love chocolate. Friends and family consider me addicted. I'd have to agree. The only time I don't eat too much of it is if I "cold turkey quit" and not eat any of it, ever, not even a bite. But for today's word, flavor, it felt like I should post my favorite: chocolate chips, chopped nuts (in this case almonds), coconut, vanilla, etc mixed together into a perfect macaroon. To make this photo took the following steps:
1. Bake the macaroons
2. Give all but a few away to my neighbor (for obvious reasons -- see above comment on addiction)
3. Photograph in clusters, singly, on a plate, etc.
4. Review photos and realize they look mundane and don't capture 'flavor'
5. Process on iPad using Tiny Planet to create a metaphor about how these flavors make me feel.
6. Choose photo to post. Emotion -- yay!! chocolate! coconut! nuts! vanilla!
7. Aw...they are all gone... :-(

8. Oops -- looked at the wrong date. YESTERDAY was flavor and today is sisters, but since I don't have a sister, I will go ahead and claim yesterday's word for today.
I KNEW it!!! I didn't think anyone nloved chocolate as much as me!!! (except maybe our grand daughter)....What a great shot...(but have to tell you it looks a little a hairy spider gone wild before I looked at it large..hahaha) Great processing!
I'm like you, I'm a chocoholic tragic, and just can't give it up, I admire you for baking and giving away so much so you didn't eat them all :), great shot, love the processing
Oh you have made my day - i am still laughing at your story!! So funny Taffy - and in the end it was the wrong topic!! LOL!! Great image - love your processing here and it made me think of a big mouth waiting to swallow you up!! Do you think there is a Chocoholics Anonimous? I think I need to join!!
Glad you explained how you did this because I couldn't figure it out . . . it does show off the macaroon in a new way!
