Two Double Espressos Please

I’ve been photographing so much black and white material recently, and experimenting with various film stocks and developing solutions, that I thought I might have been neglecting my lovely Fujifilm X-T5 a little. So, in case it was feeling a little neglected, I made it two nice measures of espresso.

Needless to say, after I’d showed the coffee to the camera, and made a few images, I felt compelled to drink the stuff. It would be rude not to. Or, as I remarked to my Much Better Half, when she asked me what on earth I was doing, “One cannot simply MAKE coffee, – one MUST photograph it!”

38 Espresso – An After-Christmas Taste Treat!

Tim (my son) who is a coffee aficionado, bought me some ’38 Coffee’ whole beans for Christmas. I’d duped him into thinking I was getting a brand new professional Gaggia from Santa, and he kindly thought that I’d need some beans for the big day – and of course to make him a decent cup of Americano. I was lying, of course – a serious breach of ethics, and one of those conscience riddled challenges that we all face from time to time.
