pyramids... of sticky wax

pyramids... of sticky wax, originally uploaded by maximilian.lin.

so i havent been able to update my blog in a while because our internet is... horrible... but continuing with my "dentistry as art" project, heres sticky wax.

i struggled to figure out a way to arrange the wax in a way that was interesting... in hindsight, i probably shouldve trimmed the wax a bit more to remove the rough edges and what not... i guess i couldve ps-ed them out... oh wells.

my spring break basically consisted of travelling up the east coast and eating... what seemed like a lot of meat and not much veggies... so in an attempt to regain some balance, im trying to eat more leafy greens...

well, i guess this is kind of cheating... a carne asada salad... i do love meat. but its still pretty green?

oh and a short list of the places visited during spring break:
new york:
- brennan and carr - delicious roast beef sandwiches... as seen on man vs. food
- some taco place in on st marks and 2nd... pretty good.
- wafles and dinges in st marks - AMAZING! they beat bobby flay in a episode of throwdown... i dont consider myself someone who really likes sweets, but this waffle truck makes your waffle to order and you can add toppings, or dinges... strawberries, bananas, nutella, chocolate fudge, graham cracker spread, etc... all together (for unlimited toppings), 7 bucks... enough for two, imo.
- saint's alp teahouse - pretty good bubble tea... wish i tried the food... very busy.
- nan shian dumpling house - i love it... if you love xiao long bao (soup dumplings)... just go.
- desserttruck works - creme brulee and bread pudding with bacon sauce... thats all you need to know.

boston:
- bon chon chicken - posh korean chicken wing/lounge/bar place... wings and pickled radishs... delicious.
- neptune oyster - pricey... but oh so good... fresh oysters on the half shell, clam chowder, ceviche, cioppino (a spicy seafood stew... sooo good!)

ill post pictures from the trip soon...

theyre the high speed suction tips used to suck out saliva and all that good stuff.

a goal of the "dentistry as art" project is to expand my creativity... to see and photograph things from a different perspective...
