MY BIG FAT PHOTO ASSIGNMENT
Text & Pictures by Alan Shils
I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them.
Obviously, I cannot only take photos of what I am 'supposed' to. I look around for anything else that may be interesting.
So we have a very colorful drink in its before and after stages with the critical taste test.
