Decadence

The Majapahit Empire extended to Malacca during its13th century heyday. Not sure if its decline was due to decadence like what happened with the Roman Empire.

Gula Melaka or palm sugar is widely used in local desserts. This cake from Delicious Cafe is aptly named Gula Melaka Decadence. Sweet, sweet indulgence photographed with the 60mm Macro lens.

Thinking About Life

Did he fall off the back of a truck or was he just lying there thinking about life?

Captured with the OM-D’s kit lens in handy macro mode and swing-out LCD screen. The “Despicable Me 2” Minion figurine is about one-and-a-half inch tall. In this case, I used the len’s switchable close-up function more for its shallow depth-of-field effect.
