chocolate mess

Posted by Chris (South Jersey, United States) on 7 March 2008 in Food & Cuisine and Portfolio.

My wife had this accident occur while trying to make some hot chocolate. She yelled "why did I let this happen" and I yelled "wait - let me take a picture!".

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 109:103

I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.

I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!

Your words made me smile. Yes.... I find myself taking photos of things that someone else would find strange. It's a wonderful mess!

Laurie from New Jersey, United States

Funny! I bet she gave you "that" look!

I Would probably done or at least thought the same thing!

@Laurie: Well, she did laugh at me a bit, but she is very encouraging with my photography "madness"!!!

Barbara from Florida, United States

You were right it did make an interesting photo. I like the green cup with pattern of chocolate. Nice DOF.

Nothing worse than a missed opportunity...good job capitalizing on this one!

@Jrask: Thank you - most of the time when I see something I want to photograph I end up not having my camera!!

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom

@Ronnie 2¢: Thank you - I guess we have a disease....

Craiger from Vacaville, California, United States

Excellent! Almost looks like a controlled accident!!! Your wife should be proud. But, I'm guessing she is just upset! Anyhow, excellent job of documentation!!!

@Craiger: She put it in the microwave and it boiled over - very uncontrolled but she had to admit it looked neat...

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

Such a common household sight, it makes a pretty much universal-appeal picture.

@Viewfinder: Thank you very much - it is fun to make the common and ordinary into something like art!!

Hinah from Karachi, Pakistan

@Hinah: You are very right - I have learned again and again that God can use even bad things for good - and sometimes accidents make for good pictures!!
