I would only live on the first floor

Day 113 of an Unknown Number

" I Would Only Live on the First Floor"

 

One finds the most peculiar objects when one goes for a walk.....particularly when one tends to look at the ground while walking. I believe everyone in this area has one of these trees along the sidewalk, but I had never noticed the strange interior of the fruit they drop. I immediately knew this pod was crying out to be photographed. Who am I to ignore the cries of a......pod? Nobody!! So, there is a softbox at camera-left, and the light dissipates nicely as it does not reach the far side of our subject. Because I could not get a small light in close enough to light the layers of the interior, I decided to lightpaint the tiny levels. So, with a taped-off flashlight, I painted up and down during the two-second exposure. If I had it all to do again, I would have painted each level a different color. With that being said, my brain probably would have melted.....or exploded.....or BOTH! Thanks for stopping by!!
