World Tuna Day

Today, May 2nd is World Tuna Day. Established by the United Nations in 2016, World Tuna Day aims to draw attention to the declining tuna populations worldwide due to overfishing and increased demand. By 2027, the goal is to have tuna fished at sustainable levels, safeguarding not only the future of tuna but also to promote biodiversity conservation.

National Raisin Day

πŸŽ‰ Happy National Raisin Day! πŸŽ‰ Did you know this tasty treat has been celebrated since 1909? That’s over a century of raisin appreciation! πŸ‡

Raisins have a rich history, originating in Persia and Egypt around 2000 B.C. They quickly became beloved in Europe, winning over the hearts (and taste buds) of Romans and Greeks alike. Fast forward to today, and California stands as the producer of half of the world’s raisins! 🌟

And while you’re indulging in the celebration, why not check out more of my food photographs on my freshly redesigned website? It’s been completely revamped for the first time in 20 years! Visit http://SecondFocus.com. Thanks for your support! πŸ“ΈπŸ΄

“No Butter”

Very fun! My photograph “No Butter” was given it’s own wall space at the newly opened “Through The Lens” photography show at the Artists Council Center at the Galen in Palm Desert California. The show is up through April 21 2024.

Just the popcorn. Everybody loves popcorn. No boxes, no special preparation. Just popcorn poured out on all black. An original photograph displayed by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum. The result is a magical luminescence.


No Butter

Everybody loves popcorn. I had to photograph some.
