As ya'll know I've been working on an espresso cup and some beans, and recently I needed some foam texture, the "crem" from the top of a mocha, cappuccino, etc. Something that doesn't look like a cloud. So I've begun to take some photos of the stuff. And so I've set up a tripod at the local coffee shop and ordered different drinks just to take pictures. There were some stares and finger pointing by/from the others in the shop. And no, I didn't try to explain it's for art. I can hear it now "that's art? He says that's art!"

I suppose taking photos in macro of a brick wall, table top, or other interesting texture for the use of a mat must attract some stares from observers. Has anyone gone through this experience?

Anyway,  I was able to get some stuff which I hope is good enough to apply as a decent mat. Haven't edited the photos yet. But anyway.... crazy experience.....
