March 27 2004:
T.O.A.S.T.*

I'm off the alcohol at the moment, but would still like to 'drink' a toast to all PADers, especially those in the Big Apple. So I hope that a mug of coffee is the next best thing. It's no special flavour, but at least its Fairtrade so none of my money is going to line the pockets of those fat cats at Nestles.
Have a great weekend out there, you're the best!

~~~The background is a place mat. I was curling it over in my left hand and operating the Canon with my right.~~~

Mmmmm...coffee...my drug of choice! And the swirling background lends the feeling of how coffee makes me feel after the sixth cup of joe!! Clever that you used the placemat curled up to get that! And the blur of the DOF doesn't hurt either.

LOL at your acronym! Great shot, "Cheers" to you, too!

Looks more like a pair of lips on the mug in the thumbnail.

Thanks for the technical details. :) The curved placemat makes this really interesting. :)

Is the background becoming one of your teasers? Whatever it is, it's beautiful, the way it carries the light.

Really a great acronym, TOAST, I'll use very often here on bBase.
TFS, thanks for sharing.

This has a very Latin American flavour to it.
Well done Ray.

You can tell a lot about someone from his coffee cup! What's that background?
