Vouloir jouer aux échecs contre soi-même est aussi paradoxal que vouloir marcher sur son ombre. Stefan Zweig.
I challenged myself to a duel of chess, I was both the winner and the defeated. It all comes down to your point of view and depth of field. The fall of the king brought on the shadow of night, and the end of the shoot.
"You can only come to the morning through the shadows."
— J.R.R. Tolkien
Poor Seifer, should have kept away from the wine. Serves him right.

A ~6x8 inch Kallitype on Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag. Toned in gold. Originally a digital capture from 2010. Hand-turned cocobolo chess pieces lined up on a desk.
This photo already exists in my photostream, but I liked the Kallitype enough that I wanted that version here too.

A popular photographic motif in Vienna is the Spittelau waste incineration plant, whose façade was redesigned and given its present colorful, irregular structures by eco-architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser following a major fire in 1989. Since then, the former utility building has combined the topics of waste, energy and art in a fascinating way. On a tour of the plant, visitors get an insight into Vienna's waste, recycling and disposal system, as well as the environmentally friendly generation of thermal heat and hot water.

Ordered pizza, watched the final two episodes of Boardwalk Empire with Jeff (I'd seen them, he hadn't). Then we played a game with my new chess set. I won. 9/365.
