about the second photo - I saw an enlarged photo once in a gallery of 3 single plain clear glasses filled with water on the wall of a loft. Unfortunately they did not post the photographer's name. So? I did an art experiment on my own with my trusty old pentax SLR. - this photo titled "libation" is the end result, blew it up@ kinkos to 16 x 20.The last 3 original photos are autumn in the park [pushed grain] & Gate [ abstraction overlooking the lake in a park]
