When I inserted the plunger, a small amount of coffee gushed out onto the worktop, producing the pattern you see.Dennis Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409579380626581592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290973459084131413.post-60123202757923380532012-04-18T15:26:34.038+08:002012-04-18T15:26:34.038+08:00Dear, Dennis Hodgson.

The black region at the bottom of the photo is a reflection of the underside of the bridge, and the distortion is the result of a disturbed water surface.Dennis Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409579380626581592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290973459084131413.post-65068108448147874092012-04-17T23:31:57.447+08:002012-04-17T23:31:57.447+08:00Dennis, you explain your aesthetic very well, and ...Dennis, you explain your aesthetic very well, and your photos are pleasing to look at, which I suppose would be my aesthetic criterion.nothingprofoundhttp://wwwaphorismscom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290973459084131413.post-33604970171494614082012-04-17T18:19:49.221+08:002012-04-17T18:19:49.221+08:00cool photos, dennis, and i agree that photos don&#...cool photos, dennis, and i agree that photos don't have to be about anything. was "let there be light" shot through a dimpled window?Helena Fortissimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038388794311046455noreply@blogger.com
