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. 

Fascinations and Ongoing Projects

I have a fascination with bathrooms, aesthetically speaking. And, as I've mentioned throughout my blog, hotels. Vintage motels, boutique hotels, whatever. Later, I'll post more images from my bathroom series - an ongoing project, as is my hotels project and coffee project ("my espresso in its native habitat" is what I'm calling it right now) - you can keep up with that specifically on instagram or tumblr. Be sure to connect with me! Those posts are also updated to my Twitter @taracucciaphoto and Tara Cuccia Photography on facebook. Additionally, you can subscribe to my blog here, over on the right of the page and you'll simply get a little notification (via email or RSS feed - whichever you choose) anytime I add new content/photos. This way, you won't have to worry about checking for new material - you'll automatically know when there's new stuff going on!
