Day 50!
Also for FGR challenge "It's so cliche!" We have three (count 'em, three!) 365 photo cliches in one:
1. Facial macro shot
2. Sprinkles on the lips
3. Flickr color scheme
Woot!
And, by the way... serious props to the people who have done the sprinkles shot before. It looks easy, but it is actually really damn difficult. The sprinkles don't want to stay on (gravity is not your friend), and they're really hard to place. FYI, the amount of force needed to grab a sprinkle with a pair of tweezers is near identical to the amount of force necessary to crush a sprinkle with a pair of tweezers. And then once you place them, they tend to slide around and roll over, leaving them all covered in lip gloss instead of nice and matte for the camera. So, cliche or not, I have a lot of respect for people who manage to pull this off and make it look good.
