Chubby Chipmunk Chocolates
December 5th, 2007
A couple years ago while shooting a job in the Badlands for Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine I had the pleasure of photographing Mary “Chip” Tautkus of Chubby Chipmunk Chocolates in Deadwood, SD . It’s a chocolate oasis in a unique part of the US.
The writer of the story, Panio Gianopoulos had come across her little store while looking around Deadwood for interesting things to experience and write about. The next day, I went by with him and photographed some of Chips amazing truffles and also did a portrait of Chip. It was a great experience and we both left with a full stomach. If you’re ever in that part of the world, you should stop in and say hi to Chip who will probably be there working hard on new truffle flavors.
