Art. Distilled.

I stumbled across this last night and couldn't resist.
A company called Bevshots has produced a series of photographic shots of various alcoholic beverages....at 1000x magnification! The process consists of letting a drop of liquor dry on a slide in an airtight container, then shining natural light on both sides of the slide while photographing. The results are stunning, don't you think?!
