Photo a Day: 2/Beignet detritus


Day 2: I made beignets this morning with mix from Café du Monde in New Orleans. I rolled them out too thin the first time around so I had to bring the dough back together into a big ball and start over. The granite countertop with the sharp scraper makes all the difference. Served with powdered sugar and hot cocoa.

The photograph is alright. It's uncropped and unedited for the most part. I shot it with at the wide end of a 12-24 mm lens, so the perspective is distorted. I like that. It's the slightest bit blurry which will drive me to drink if I look at it any longer, but the flash would've washed out the warm light, so I did without.
