Jim Cox Photos: March 2012

This photo was done by illuminating the image with a flashlight in the 4x5 days. (large format view camera)

I decided to get a cake and take a picture with stuffed animals so that I could make a birthday card for various different kids. I went to the grocery store with a bakery and asked for a cake with happy birthday written on it. The girl insisted that I should include a name to make it much more personal. I told her that I just wanted one that said happy birthday. She kept on insisting that I should put a name on the cake. I told her that it didn't matter and I did not want a name on the cake but she still kept on persisting. I finally told her it was for a sheep. She did not say another word and gave me the cake with the happy birthday on it.
