OK, here we go. Every time I drink a coffee and I happen to have my camera with me, I photograph the cup before consuming. This has lead to one or two interesting chats with café owners. I've got dozens of the bloody things now.

Entries don't have to be a close up of a cup in a café though, or they can be if you want, but they can have a much wider aspect and can be at home or anywhere else for that matter. As long as there's a cup or mug of coffee in the pic somewhere, that's fine.

I've cut and pasted dr orloff's original "rules" in case there's anyone who didn't see the first assignment - all I've done is change the date.

As I was sitting here and my camera was to hand (usually is):



Terrible picture - poor lighting, nice cup of coffee though, the only time I have milk in a coffee is at breakfast

LOL - brilliant.
...er, you're bloody quick on the trigger....

This isn't my entry but I have just realised that my mug is celebrating its 20th season! Maybe I should make a commemorative mug.

I suddenly feel terribly old.

bet the mug does too

You are left-handed then roah

Good detective work but if you dusted for prints you would discover that I'm right handed with a tendency not to hold mugs by the handle!

So, is there a picture on the otherside....as otherwise, as Susie points out, that's a left handed mug!!

The typeface shows its age!

(don't worry - the mug is now empty so it's ok to balance on the keyboard)

My 2nd of the day......motivated by the assignment!

My artistic attempt!

That tin of Lavazza looks like a funny face, Kathy

Blimey Kathy, is your kettle really that clean and polished ALL the time ?

Mais, bien sûr!

Okay, so it's a new one, we bought it last week, but...tell no one!

I can't see what you're seeing Blaze?

The coffee in the cup looks like a red nose, the shadow under the cup makes a sort of smile, and the letters of "club" look like batting eyelashes
It just requires a bit of imagination

.. and some of that Black Moroccan we heard about a few weeks ago..
P

Lebanese Gold, please ....

I went in a Lebanese club once by mistake in the US.. it was full of women in check shirts dancing together.. (true story!)

Oh yes, I can see it now and this without the spliff!!

You're bloody mental, raindog.

You took the words out of my mouth Starless.

Well, I think the last two posts have effectively stuffed this thread.

They've all gone off to drink something a bit stronger this weekend, raindog. I'm sure they'll all need a lot of coffee after that, so I'm sure they'll be back.

Ragazza, is it just me? All I get is a red cross.

Oh dear it's happening again

It seemed to do a disappearing act yesterday then somehow reappeared !

I think I had better try and reload it.

Hope this one stays put

This one's still hot as we speak..

Can I nominate Sue's photo for the "coffee" photo assignment, its the best way to drink coffee, even if you have to wait for it to "brew" for 44 days

Thanks Ragazza - super photo.

Arabic coffee-a gift from my friend in the supermarket near my house, Riyadh. Not a health food shop-obviously!!

I couldn't take my eyes off the Marlboro - I've been off them for so long, but there are Marlboro moments.

Really good participation and very nice to see entries from those who don't often dabble with the photo section. And there are some nice imaginative takes on the theme as well.

I can also take a photo of Civaux It's always there, letting me know I am nearly home. Cannot tell, from the photo, which way you're looking at it.
