Adventures in Coffee

Ran out of espresso beans so I went on one of my morning drives to Progress. I kept it short and sweet this time and just shot a couple things on the way there rather than creeping through east of downtown like I often do... Because I have things to do today -- I was really excited to get home and make that coffee and we may be heading to Barton Springs -- happy Friday!  Love Austin!

BUT if you are interested in following my espresso project, MENH, My Espresso in Its Native Habitat, you can catch up here, on Instagram.  

As you can see, I discovered that Kaos DJ Mike Danger has an alter ego or a cousin. On another note - one of his bands, The Knocked Out Stiffs, is playing tonight at Emo's East, along with Pocket FishRmen, Brewtality Inc., The Chumps, and Sabbath Crow. Wow, writing all that just made me realize what a great show this is going to be!

My Espresso In Its Native Habitat

My Espresso in its Native Habitat (MENH) is an ongoing project where I photograph espressos either I make myself or those that are among the most delightful I've had. I only include objects that are in the near vicinity at that moment. Similar to my photographic acumen, I focus on natural happenings.

Why do I do this? Because I love coffee tawk. I value a right-on barista and really perfect espresso. I cherish the ritual of making espresso, enjoying time, and being in the moment.   

I shot these images with my iPhone and a few with my iPad. I have shot film for many years and not until recently did I get a smartphone and truly appreciate the beauty of iPhone convenience and quality.

You can keep up with this project (#menh) on tumblr or instagram.
