What the world needs now is another drink!

What is this drink doing on black sand? 

The drink is one of those designer cocktails 

that many of the watering holes are serving these days. 

I got the idea to portray the drink in an exotic place 

to support the notion that the drink is new and unusual. 

How many black sand beaches have you been on? 

I haven't been on one so to me black sand is exotic. 

I think the background captures the mood and 

grabs the attention of the viewer because 

it is juxtapositioned against a background 

you wouldn't expect to find it in. 

The next shot in the series of exotic drinks has an unusual tropical flavor to it    

and I wanted to show a connection between

the flavor of the drink and an exotic location.

I chose bamboo as my background to 

accomplish this.  

I'm always striving to present attention getting images, ones that will

stick in your mind.
