currently flickring
Pushing the limits of my camera’s battery and memory card, I shot over 900 photos during the three days of the Western Regional Barista Competition this weekend in Berkeley. Mercifully, I have edited them down to a reasonable 93 non-sucky images now up on flickr. Big congrats go to Ritual’s Chris Baca who came out on top against a very strong pack.
Also worth noting is “Brokeback” Steve Ford’s recent milestone of cup number 1000 in his obsessive First Cup series. Every morning’s first brew captured by his lens charting his progress as a photographer, roaster, and addict while the accompanying text provides insight into his continuing descent into coffee madness.

Love the coffee cup progression photos… maybe there could be a series tracking a coffee cup moving around the globe, and seen with well-known landmarks, or something :)
