The workplace of a true master of light, math and science. The unsolved original Rubik's Cube is pure scientific proof that color is just a rudimentary product of nature. One can clearly distringuish the different tonalities of the squares, proofing that color is indeed obsolete.
The strong mixture of light and dark make this a masterpiece. This cannot be questioned. One might think the presence of low quality photograpic equipment from a poor foreign manufacturer degrades it, but then again, I had to use something since my spare APO-Cron is borrowed by my two year old son.
Staying with the Geist-theme I though I take this shot of some traditional austrian Geist: Zwetschgengeist
I added a translation since most people in this forum are americans (as in the joke:
what do you call a person that speaks two languages: bilingual. -
what do you call a person, that speaks only one: an American. )
- (hope that joke qualifies as snobbish )
so, in the best Shakespearian spirit (although rather plum than pear this time, but I can see to get some pear geist as well. )
of course Schnaps doesn't need any shaking or stirring, neither does it need any ice.
This would be a sacrileg. Just plain as is, poured into a humble little glass, and then down the neck...
and the lights dim and the warmth spreads downwards and slowly the world seems a better place overall.
but then - does it really matter? It will be empty soon...
Life sure has more grain that way, and as you look at the film of your life,
you can just pour yourself enother one.

cool thread!
edit: can someone please explain how this image can be so grainy and blurry and yet still have so much 3D? I mean, the rim has certainly 3D, it pops right at me ... wait... need to take another sip...
Now, here's my effort with a 5D2 and Zeiss 85/1.4. A horse statue in a window, keenly placed below the half moon. Perhaps it was the opposite. Note the daring breakage of the reactionary rule of thirds. Also see the dramatic effect the left window frame gives, the asymmetric framing fills the image with content. Roof downpipes to the right complete the multi-dimensional messages this image contains. I wont deny it, I know I've created a powerful image here where our eyes are helplessly sucked into this universe of space, history and horseflesh.
