a holiday gift for bulb followers

happy holidays to you all! here is a little token from baron & reynolds:
photographs!

this weeks topic is "tangerine".

Any time I eat fruit, I think of the texture of the skin. No idea why. When Sarah said our project was Tangerine, I though of shooting everything Orange. Then anything fruit-ish that is growing (but in the winter, next to impossible), then I thought about taking my camera to the store and shooting the fruits and vegetable displays and quickly realized that the store management would frown upon that pretty quick. Especially when I bring in some speedlights and light stands. Instead I raided our fridge and captured the skin of various items. Noticing the all the differences was fascinating. How did the nicks get there or the scratches? The random brown spots. All the perfect imperfections.

i do not like citrus fruit. or fruit in general, for that matter.

i do like the color orange though.

i imagine that someone who likes tangerines would tell me that 

an orange is not the same as a tangerine,

but i don't care.

i like orange and tangerines are orange.
