Popcorn!

The bizarre and tiny world of popcorn. As I thought would be the case, popcorn's structure is cellular/bubbly, like foam. I thought it best to shoot macro/micro photos of popcorn before buttering.

The giant cave you see above is the edge of a popcorn shell inside a popped piece of corn. Don't look too closely, you might get it stuck in your tooth. Below are a few more shots of the strange textural landscape of a piece of popcorn.

Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.

Kosher Sea Salt

We recently acquired some kosher sea salt, which upon inspection, appears pinkish, with dark red dots. So, I shot it.

I'm still not sure what the red chunks are made of. Perhaps earthen clay or some other organic material? They do sometimes have salt crystals growing in them, and off of them.

The pinkish cast of the salt can be explained by the little bits of that dark red material mixed in and on the individual salt crystals.
