"Ceiling Light Through Water Glass"
"Ceiling Light Through Water Glass," by Elliott Hagedorn, graduate student, genetics and genomics program, Duke University.
This image was taken by placing the camera lens inside of a drinking glass and pointing it towards a ceiling light in the room.
The image was awarded honorable mention in the "Envisioning the Invisible" 2010 Mahato memorial event photo contest, organized by the engineering graduate student council at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke. The event, which will be annual, honors Abhijit Mahato, a former Duke engineering graduate student who was tragically murdered in 2008. Further information about the contest and pictures of other winning entries and submissions is available Here. (Date of Image: 2006)
