Dear Kids,
I think it’s time we had a talk. I’m ashamed to say that I have a dark secret. I remember when I took my first steps into the darkness; I was just a boy. My boarding academy “friends” pressured and pushed me to try it, “just this once.” Oh sure, I resisted for a while but soon the peer pressure and ridicule became to great and I gave in. And just like that, I became a junkie. Since then it’s been a lifelong battle filled with late nights of shame hiding from my friends and family; I don’t even know how much of my life savings I’ve squandered on this disgusting habit. But then you two beautiful children came along; I knew at that moment I had to change. I had to do it for you guys. And so, with every bit of strength I had, I quit this scourge. I’ll never be cured but right now I’m clean. Kids, I’m your dad and I love ramen. There I said it; I hope you can still love me.
Love always,
Dad

That’s ok Chris :^) I am sure, I am positive, I am highly optimistic… that your kids will forgive you. Your photo had me baffled for a moment, it is a keen abstract… but after I read your post, it all makes sense. But Becky knew right away… she must an addict too. How did you ever shoot this photograph without giving in to temptation!?
the killer noodles on a killer shot
Great abstract. Like Doug, it had me puzzled. Cool how ordinary things can become so unique with a focused perspective.
And – there I was thinking that you’d photographed a ‘brain on drugs’ (or something like that)..and all it is is ramen?? You made me laugh (with relief..and joy)! Wonderful!
OK, so you eat Thai worms…we’ll forgive you Chris, but don’t let it happen again.
PS I’m guilty too, if there’s any left over, food parcels would be most welcome!
mmm ….noodles
Ha! Well done.
Like the texture and shadows.
What’s not to love?
Keep up the good work! Nice photo as well, like always!
hahhahahaha.. we love ramen too
don’t tell anyone.. :p
I knew in an “instant” what this was. We’ve had this discussion before…nothing to be ashamed of. We can ramen anytime!
Ha! Sounds awesome Esther!
Very good abstract!
Great macro Christopher. I have never actually tried these (and that’s okay.)
seems to be a chaos very organized now miss some salt and water!!!!!!
it gives a feeling that it is hugging each other and lying!
Just say no…the battle of ramensalt.
Hilarious. I wouldn’t peg you for the type…
Great abstract, it took me a while to figure out
Ha ha, a nice comedic twist to the post.
Not sure if you have ever been out to Japan (or plan to one day), but they have ramen here that will definitely worsen your addiction. One of the things I will miss when I leave soon.
Hi Christopher, like the curves and pattern.
Hah…this is one confession that really is good for the soul–my soul–since it made me laugh out loud. Thanks, Chris.
Mmm…ramen.
You are too funny and very CREATIVE.
