Were you a fan of Dexter? I was (Michael C. Hall at his best!), as I came across the books days before I started watching the show. Darkly Dreaming Dexter was like the book I wish I had written, much more then Mr. Ripley, as I am all for the anti hero character building. I loved the books, I loved the show, and I especially loved that opening, with the music and the all day stuff everyone goes through... I was especially entranced by that darn blood orange, and I really wanted to try one and get juicing with it. 


So one of these days, as I was out shopping for veggies, I came across these enormous blood oranges, and I just had to bring one home. Now, there was a time in my life where I used to drink the juice of a grapefruit every single day, and I loved its acidity and tartness, and I was kind of expecting this blood orange to be like that, flavour wise. It was not. It was quite mild and on the sweet side, but not like a regular orange, it had something of the sea about it, I can't quite explain it. It was quite good, and refreshing, but what really got to me was the intensity of its colours, both on the fruit itsel as well as on the juice. I felt like I was kind of photographing the high end, couture top model of thr fruit world, you know? And so I wanted to do it justice...
