Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.


Even beer kegs on the bag of a truck can make for an interesting photograph, if you try hard enough.

There is a quote from Günter Grass' novel The Tin Drum that I like very much, and I think captures the feeling of a kind of nervous energy that I was trying to put words to the other day.
"...At this moment I undertsood the fatal lure of the thirty-foot springboard; little grey kittens began to wriggle in my knee joints, hedgehogs mated under the soles of my feet, swallows took wing in my armpits, and at my feet I saw not only Europe but the whole world."

I really like that. If you've not read the book, give it a go.

I really like that too!

I would have liked the pic a bit crispier, but otherwise a nice abstract photo. Who would say they are beer drums?

Dina, good!

KL, 'cripser' as in evenly focused? Or more contrast?

KL said...

A bit more focused or perhaps a more contrast would have also done the job.

KL, the glare from the front keg limits the amount of contrast one could exploit, unfortunately
