Sorry for the late post! I don't know why but I was feeling a bit uninspired.
So I took a couple pictures. My original idea was to take a picture of coffee in a cup and capture it jumping out by dropping things in the cup. My first thought about caffeine is that when you're on it, you're super jumpy (thus, caffeine jumping out at you). This was an extremely failed attempt, and after an hour of frustration and failure, I will settle on these:
If you see the wispiness, that's actually marbles I was dropping into the cup that were flying out. Eventually, I tried to slowly drip more coffee into the cup.... but that got really messy fairly quickly:
These pictures represent my state of mind when I drink caffeine at a time when I should actually be asleep. In my times of relying on caffeine (college), I realize I never felt all that hyper when under the influence of caffeine. Instead, I was walking through life like I was half dead, messy, incoherent, etc.
Originals are here. The only changes I made were contrast (stronger contrast) and I tried to reduce the saturation on the images and bring out more of the brown to make the coffee stand out stronger (and to have a vintage-y look)
Back in the US, i wanted to comment on this picture went I first saw it in China but i couln't.
ReplyDeleteI really like your first picture on this series, it reminds me of the intro to Fight Club for some reason.
And I have a song in my head that goes with it but I need to find it :D
