Cranberry Skins

Here are the skins of cranberries Sarah strained from the mix while making cranberry curd for a Thanksgiving tart. I like how they look like cellophane or vinyl. I've done nothing to these photos except minor adjustments for the color of the light from my flash and any variance in their exposure. These skins were shot on a piece of plexiglass with the light coming from below at the side, in order to highlight their translucent character.

Dermal Ridges, amazing and unique

Here are the dermal ridges of my babies. Each different, just like them. Check out how the top one is more Yin Yang-ish, and the bottom more like a comma. Cool.

Yes, a dermal ridge is a more medically-correct way to refer to these. The fingerprint would be what is left on a surface after pressing your dermal-ridged finger against it.

I can say that the bottom one is more like my fingerprints than the top one, so I'm a comma-bearing fingerprinter.

I had taken a photo of a fingerprint I left on a metal surface, hoping to see what a fingerprint is made of. It seems to be oils from the skin and skin fragments that make up the telltale print from our fingers.
