Last summer I undertook a train project, attempting to photograph many different views of the extensive train system in Kansas City. The Train Time project came to a bit of a lull during an arduous fall semester and a photo-unfriendly early winter. I decided to take my photography indoors, but couldn't afford much in the way of lights and backdrops. My solution was a DIY lightbox, made of foam core and tape. After completing the lightbox, I found myself looking around my apartment in search of anything that would fit inside. My post about the lightbox can be found here.

Finally, I settled on a picture of some M&Ms. I set out to purchase only a few M&Ms. As I stood in the candy aisle at my local Walgreens, I began to notice just how colorful candy is and how much each type of candy differes. An hour later, I found myself leaving Walgreens with about 7 pounds of candy and a new project.

Thus the Candy project was born.
