I went to get ice cream with some friends last Saturday afternoon at an ice cream parlor/old fashioned candy store. Walking around looking at the candy brought back so many memories of childhood. I remembered tying red licorice shoe laces around my fingers only to nibble them off, or sucking the syrup out of the insides of the edible wax coke bottles.
Craig Kanarick over at Rockmade makes art that has a similar effect on me as did that candy store. He takes close-up, gorgeous pictures of candy. Some is carefully arranged and some is scattered a bit more haphazardly, but the effect is always delicious looking. The picture of the Starbursts above makes my mouth water for that particular candy. I can totally recall the taste, even though I haven't had them in years, just by experiencing the picture. It is much lower in calories that way.
