PrintPhoto of the Day: Orange Dropped in Milk
I was struck by Mika Anderson's high-speed photograph of an orange being dropped in a bowl of milk because 1) it looks cool and 2) it made me wonder why anyone would drop an orange into a bowl of milk. The first point kind of answers the second though: you drop an orange into a bowl of milk because it looks cool. I also love his photo of the orange as it hits the still surface of the milk and the symmetrical splash of the post-orange bombing.

That looks so cool! I also like the limes in water and the strawberries in milk. What a great idea.

Makes no sense what so evah, but they're all so beautiful, I want to frame them and hang them. Art is in the eye of the beholder and I'm beholden to you Robyn!

I think the orange in a bowl of milk can be remniscent of egg yolk with surrounding whites. Think that's what they were going for? I like it!

I loooooooooove these! There's one shot w/the orange dead center in the splash and it looks like a giant daisylike flower...

Mmm, it's like a deconstructionist's interpretation of a Creamsicle.

These shots sure are beautiful, but does anyone else cringe at the waste of milk? I like how the "fruits in liquid" series uses water.
