Choc and Blue Cupcakes

I was supposed to meet him at the bookstore. I made my way through the doors, peering over shelf stacks and bargain tables trying to spot him. He was meandering in the fiction section when he noticed me clutching a box of cupcakes.

Most males would ask if one had been bought for them. Not him. He took one look at the box of cupcakes and instantly made the “camera click” gesture with his fingers. He knows me so well it’s frightening.

Sure, cupcakes are sweet fluffy cake explosions that taste oh so good popped in the mouth, but damn they are made to be photographed. Eating them is just a bonus, right?

I shot these bad boys with my Yashica FX3 camera and Kodak Portra 400NC film. No flash, just natural window light. I was pretty pleased with how they turned out. I’m now offering these prints in the store.

In case you missed it yesterday, I was interviewed on Shutter Sisters. I’ve been following their photography website for quite some time, so I was honoured to be asked. You can read it here.
