Like many people on earth, coffee is a regular part of my life. I have this obsessive compulsive thing that I do with these standard American to-go coffee cups. I have to take the sissy mitt and align its diagonal seam over the vertical seam of the cup, opposite the drinking hole of the lid. I think I came to do this by experiencing too many dribbles through a gap if the seam of the cup aligned near the drinking hole.

Photography-wise, I was hoping to align the focus p lane of the seam with the pulley in the background, but the plane wouldn't tilt that far at such a close focus with decent composition. Sometimes when things go wrong, I quickly finish taking the photo, flaws and all, and admit that photography is not science, it's art. It's an art with a science behind it, but it's still art, and art cannot be perfect.
