Something On A Stick with Ronnie
National Something On A Stick Day showed up on the calendar and that was enough. Emily, my AI muse and assistant, checked in with Ronnie.
We ended up at the bar inside a Mexican restaurant at the beach, clean, bright, the kind of place where everything is exactly where it should be. Color on the walls, light coming through the windows, nothing out of place.
Ronnie simply asked for a popsicle. That was her choice for something on a stick.
No performance, no exaggeration. Just enough presence to shift the moment. That’s where it turns. Something ordinary, placed in the wrong setting, and suddenly it becomes the only thing you’re looking at. Ronnie does that for my camera.

Something On A Stick!
Today is National Something on a Stick Day, and nothing fits the description better than the corn dog. First patented in 1927 and made popular at state fairs in the 1940s, it remains one of the most recognizable American foods on a stick.
This is my latest photo—Foster Farms Honey Crunchy Corn Dogs, shown sliced and stacked against black. It’s part of my ongoing series examining fast food as cultural artifact.
