Spicy!

When I cook, I am always compelled to photograph the spices, once measured out into a prep bowl. Once the dish is made, the spices blend into a new flavour, and a new colour; I guess I like to document their distinct identities before that happens, to remind me of their individual contributions.

Apparently, I am not alone in my love of spice. Seems there are many Flickr members enamoured by the colours and textures of spice and their juxtaposition, as seen in my little gallery, above.  Following that link can connect you to the photographers responsible for the beautiful photographs above.  For more on Flickr galleries, see here.
