The · Republic · of · Candy

I was waiting for a friend before going into the theater and I got a little fidgety, so I looked behind the red velvet curtain. And there was Tony Leung Chiu Wai.

A movie by Lucile Hadzihalilovic. Dark, dreamy, and nothing like I've ever seen before. I was so caught up with what was going on, what was about to happen, and why things were happening that for almost two hours I was frozen in my seat, staring at the screen with a perfectly good white chocolate covered macaroon melting in my hand.

Pierre helped me celebrate the completion of my first hand-drafting commission.

I have a lot to learn about photographing chocolate. These gems were uncomfortable under the lamp's glare.

... or why birthdays are fun. The very first post -- and it's a month behind schedule.
