Behind the Lines

Taking photos of things that we all take for granted and how complex those items can actually be to  manufacture really floors me. The painstaking attention to detail, the quality control that goes into making pharmaceuticals never dawned on me till I photographed the process. Would never imagine how tedious the process to make a few capsules really is and all the really wild safety gear involved to protect the technician as well as the patient.
The complete concentration of the Pharmacy Technician.

Think about uniformly filling 100 capsules.

You never want to expose yourself to what you make. 

The end results of a very long and tedious process.

Sweet Changes

  It is the little things that bring on big changes and usually in small increments. On Monday it rained in North Texas, which in and of itself is not that big a deal other than summers in Texas are usually really dry. But on Tuesday I got to take pictures of a Cornish Apple Pie, and just like that, despite all the latent heat still hanging around and the fields still being green, it is already fall in my mind. Like I said, it is the little things that turn into big things later on.
