Absinthe

Studio still life shoot from Monday night. Photos will be used to illustrate a story on the history, culture, and literary mythology of Absinthe, an exremely high proof spirit with a distinctive green color. Absinthe achieved great popularity amoung Parisian artists and writers, and was associated with the "evils" of bohemian culture.

Update: This photo has now appeared as a full-plus page in The Expat, August 2009, pages 086-087: http://www.pbase.com/duff/image/116356768
