How I like my coffee. Dark and strong enough to stand a spoon in!

Levels and contrast adjustment to whiten the background. Unsharp mask filter, duplicate layer converted to black and white and blended using overlay.

Canon EOS 20D / Canon USM 28mm-105mm lens.

I’ve been taking photographs since 1997 and I still love it. After a brief dislike of photomanipulation I now use Photoshop extensively on a majority of my work. People are my favourite subject and I’m always on the look out for new models, so drop me a line if you’re interested! :)
