I'm really not a fan of Diet Coke, being as Coke has such a big place in my heart, but it was sitting there on the table, and I wanted to try taking a picture of something different. I wanted to see what this would look like with the coke in color and everything else in black and white. I know I will be getting lots of phone calls from all of you asking if I will take pictures of your soft drinks. But please, remember that I already have a job. This weekend was fun; we went to my parents' and did some fun stuff (convincing?). Saturday Greg and my family (I did not participate; I was busy messing with photoshop) started an apple factory. He climbed a ladder into my parents' apple trees and picked hundreds of apples. Then he ran them through this apple peeler/corer thingy and someone else cut them, someone bagged them, and someone put them in the freezer. This picture is of the prize-winning apple. It was the most perfect apple he picked, so I thought it deserved a picture. Anyway I thought it was humorous that they had a little sweatshop going. You know what else is funny...how many little sayings there are that involve the apple. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree", "you are the apple of my eye", "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", "an apple in the hand is worth two in the bush", "the apple is mightier than the sword", "the early bird catches the apple" and so on. See what I mean? The apple is just such an important fruit.
