Continuing with shots of the
Urban Light sculpture at LACMA. (For the explanation, see
this post.)
This shot I share because of the difficulty in taking it. Not that it required great physical exertion, or placing myself in danger. No, all I did was climb some stairs.
Next to this exhibit is the multiple-story Broad Contemporary Art Museum building. On the side facing the exhibit are stairs running along the side. So to get a higher angle on the lamps I strolled over to their base, noticed no sign nor chain nor barricade, and then climbed to the first landing. I made no effort to be surreptitious in my approach to nor in my ascension of the stairs, but only after I was already up there did some men in sport coats from by the building on the opposite side of the exhibit come running and telling me I had to come down.
However, before they got close and I had to comply, I snapped off this one. Had to get something for my trouble. (Apologies for the settings--no time to make adjustments.)
Despite their appearance, these are actually bagels with cream cheese "frosting" made pink with food coloring, and decorated with sprinkles. This was my birthday breakfast, lovingly prepared by my wonderful fiancee.
Why would one make bagels look this way? Homage to a special movie poster.
And of course I couldn't pass up the chance for some tight macros shots. It was a tasty and inspiring meal.
After the cascade of bubbles (see previous post) subsided, the semi-frozen slush of sparkling cider could be seen down the neck of the bottle.
What seems to be a recurrent theme with my photos: Carbonated beverages left in the freezer too long and what happens when the container is taken out.
