thirsty thursday...

A company called Bevshots has released a series of  images of booze under a microscope, then magnified 1000x. The process consists of letting a droplet of liquor dry out completely on a slide, in an airtight container, and photographing the result with a 35mm camera. The complete process can take up to three months, and as many as 200 attempts, to properly capture the drink's unique parts. The colors in these images are FABULOUS. I love how vibrant these images are, and how high the contrast is--breathtaking. I could see a lot of these images as textile prints [hello, tequila?] I'm not sure if I'll ever see a white russian or a glass of champagne the same again. :)
