Can You Help Me Find A Baked Bean?
Recently I picked up a cracking little domain name: http://www.bakedbean.co.uk
I love the domain, I think it’s completely brandable and am keen to get cracking with a site on it, but I’ve hit a bit of an unexpected stumbling block. I can’t find a picture of a solitary baked bean anywhere! There are indeed plenty of baked beans with their little baked bean friends in the shots, but I’ve been through all the stock photography sites I know now with no joy.
So i’m sending out an SOS, can you help me find a picture of a single baked bean? It needs to be high res, have a plain white background, something like this:
Before anybody chimes up, yes that’s a coffee bean and not a baked bean, it’s the style of shot I’m demonstrating. If your handy with a camera and think you could do this shot for me, I’d be most grateful and am sure I could sort you out with beer or good old sterling. My own efforts to take this shot myself weren’t good.
So that’s my SOS, do you know where I can find a baked bean?

What a weird request! Beans, being such small slimy things, turned out to be quite hard to photograph.. My only half-decent effort is here http://julianmoskov.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/beans.jpg with the bean below having its background removed in Photoshop. Let me know if you’d want a high res version of that.
