The amazing plant photographs which were ten years in the making and are filled with electricity

"These extraordinary images reveal what happens when electrical surges pass through a metal board with a simple plant on top.

Photographer Robert Buelteman sends 80,000 volts through his flowery subjects and then literally paints photographs of the outcome..."


Images and story....

ok- not trying to be negative . .. but while I appreciate the uniqueness of the whole concept and it is quite amazing . . .I sorta kept feeling it had a little "disco" feel to it. Sorta like those beer sign with the lights in them at bars . .. .

I agree with what you are saying . . . I applaud the ability to come up with something different. Just not my particular taste.

I would definitely choose the blue pill

I like the pictures. However, that is the worth headline for a story ever. That publication must have third graders working for them.
