things aren't always what they appear to be at first glance.

I love Flickr. Don't you? You find the most interesting images sometimes when browsing around. Take for example this image of what looks like a simple black card with a circle. What exactly makes up the black card and what does the circle represent? According to the photographer himself:

Intriguing isn't it?

Is it the moon ? Is it a ring ? Is it moving ? Is it huge/small ? Is it watching?
Is it a mug or glasses filling with coffee ?

This picture is a white and black contrast of a coffee glass that I have bought at a convenient store. I have put it on the sidewalk and take the shot. I have used Picasa to add more shadow in it to emphasis the contrast and erase almost everything of the object.

It's maybe my first post-modernism picture.
The object is central to the picture perfectly integrated
but so strangely unidentifiable and so familiar by it's shape.

Yes. Intriguing indeed. His last two lines are interesting. Can be applied to a lot of things we often come across in our lives. I like how the image conjures up questions from certain people who look past the obvioius assumption that it's a simple black card with a circle. Asking questions always helps in getting someone one step closer to the truth. I hope in the case of a friend in my life right now, that proves to be true.

And this is all I have to say about that so i'll stop talking in circles now.
