no, i won't be serving you coffee if and when you make it down to my abode. this instant coffee is at least 15 years old and might even be older by a couple more years. my friend who lives in germany came to visit a long time ago and because i don't drink coffee (severe reaction to smell) she brought her own instant coffee. before she left she said i should keep the jar of coffee as she might visit again in a few months' time or i might have a visitor who drinks coffee. so the jar was left behind all other stuff in the cupboard. i was surprised when i saw it this morning while doing inventory of my booze (early this morning, and no, i wasn't intending to have a tipple. yet!😜).
this week's prompt for the 52 captures -- i haven't confused yet the 52 captures with the 52 assignments and the 52 frames, but i know i soon will 🤣 -- is coffee. why 'coffee' is beyond me but i suppose it's a clever enough prompt for photography.
so i had to tie it in with today's shape for the black and white. the smell had me sneezing since i set this up and i had to wash my hands thoroughly quite a few times.
so there, coffee. and the shapes of the spoon, the cup and the granules themselves.
My mother drank Folger’s coffee crystals every morning. I bought her several coffee pots through the years but she just preferred instant. Your photo made me think of her. 😊
I think I have a jar of instant coffee in my cupboard somewhere that’s almost as old as this one. I love the way you have composed it in this fabulous photo.
I don’t drink a lot of coffee, but I love walking down the coffee aisle in the store because of the smell. I guess that must be your least favorite aisle. Nice details of the coffee.
No instant coffee in the LeFevre household- Jeff makes his own (from a can that is). I like the smell but not the taste (unless it's one of those coffee-mocha things that's more like a coffee milkshake than a cup of coffee). This shot has a wonderful contrast between the mug and the coffee and the spoon.
This is a great shot!
And that reaction is terrible. I wonder what would i do without coffee??? I feel like i've been drinking coffee all my life and i like it sooooo much
Great detail of the coffee crystals. Interesting, how different people are...even as a kid I loved the smell of fresh brewed coffee. Was disappointed when I first tasted it but now I love both the flavor and smell!
What a great shot Vikki. Coffee is very useful in photography if you don't drink it. For me, I would use it for a prop and then drink it since I'm a coffee drinker
