HINTS

Optional, in three steps. A plate developed with hints gets a sepia seal.

TOUCH THE WATER

Each plate is a photograph of this cell of water under its lamps. Make the water draw it again: choose the needles at the rim, their turn, and the note they play. The win is judged from the physics, so when the water holds the picture for two seconds, the plate develops into your Album.

Strobes are simulated, never flashed. A photosensitivity limiter keeps any large area from flickering faster than three times a second.
