Some photos for you to chew on

4:45 PM | March 4, 2008

yummy gummy bears Not only does photographer  Kealoha Villa find his models inspiring and colorful, they are also tasty, and in some cases, sugar-free, too. These tiny, gelatinous candies are the stars of the Long Beach resident's Gummy Bear 365, a once-a-day photo project he shares with friends and fans on Flickr.

What can you do with a Gummy Bear, a camera and a few minutes each day? Well, there are Gummies studying a crossword puzzlemunching on fruit, voting in the state primary and dressed as the Incredible Gummy Hulk. There are also Gummies on the rocks and, Villa's favorite, a Gummy at rest. (Click on the Full Story link at the bottom for a Q&A.)

Villa, who is on day 217 of his project, squeezes in his daily photo sessions while working as a database administrator in Irvine or in the Long Beach apartment he shares with his girlfriend, Sheri.

Though Villa is fond of green, lime-flavored Gummies or sugar-free tangerine and blueberry bears, he resists the temptation to pop them in his mouth once they have been photographed.

"I simply leave them where I photographed them, only for them to be found by Sheri (my girlfriend), which she isn't always happy about," he said.

I've seen many of K's pics. and they are absolutely amazing. He is truly an artist and hopefully one day more people will recognize his wonderful talent. And gummie bears are my favorite!

Looks to me like Mr. Villa is onto something. He seems to be a fantastic photographer. He has a very creative sense of perspective. Maybe he should take photos for the Los Angeles Times.

Love the gummies!

I'm glad the Episcopal Church, or at least half of it, is moving forward not backwards towards acceptance and growth.
 
- Righteous???, on the church's move toward ending a de facto ban on the ordination of gay bishops and sanctioning marriage blessings for same-sex couples
