I have always enjoyed table top RPGs (think Dungeons and Dragons). I wanted to capture the anticipation and uncertainty in rolling a die that would have an impact on the story and game you are playing in. For this object photo I also wanted to experiment with some photo editing software. I used GIMP, a free Photoshop like program, to manipulate "color balance" and "hue saturation" in order bring out the purples, greens, and blues in what was originally a clear, somewhat bland, die. I took the photo on a piece of felt with all the lights turned off in my house, using only the flash.
An 11 is not a great roll when you can get a 20, but the imperfect roll of the die, with the tantalizing prospect of seeing a perfect 20, makes this a meaningful image to me.
