9/7 - Challenge: What Is It?

Home, Office

My entry into the Informal Thursday Transglobal Challenge themed "What Is It?!?"

This challenge was made more difficult in that I broke my tripod recently and it will not hold my
camera up reliably now. You just don't know how much you depend on those things till they don't work.

Please check out these other great folks asking that same question:

A lovely flask, I'm thinking. Hopefully empty so that it doesn't lose a single drop by accident since its on it's side!

Fine b&w and a great miracle. I have no idea. Very well done.
Jessica McCollum08-Sep-2006 20:39
I'm with Scott and I do think it is a great shot as well. Not sure what that says about those of us who got it right off ; )

I recognized the shape as something I'd seen before, but I have to admit that I didn't know until I saw the others' answers. Definitely a flask, but I wouldn't have guessed without help. Surprisingly enough.

Wonderful shot. Like Shaggy, Daniel, and others of that crowd, I recognized it right away. Still love it, though.

Flask. For sure.
Cindi Smith08-Sep-2006 00:03
I think it has to do with a printer but what do I know? Great shot!

Stumped me too, but I really like it! Great dof!
Guest 07-Sep-2006 23:15
Is it the top of a hip flask, very cool image:-)
Faye White07-Sep-2006 23:02
ummmmm..... ummmmmmm.... no idea!
nice photo of it though! ;)
Guest 07-Sep-2006 22:50
The side of a piano stool perhaps?
J. Scott Coile07-Sep-2006 22:37
Excellent B&W. I don't have a clue.
chrisse07-Sep-2006 22:35
This one is a total mystery to me...

Guest 07-Sep-2006 22:32
Is that a drink cup?
Winter2707-Sep-2006 22:29
It's a flask! It's a flask! If I am correct, do I win a prize? Like say.... one of your bad ass amoretta sours?? Great shot by the way...
royalld07-Sep-2006 22:18
A paper shredder?
laine8207-Sep-2006 22:11

Daniel Penz 07-Sep-2006 21:58
