3) Dealer’s Choice

4) Well I took the Dealer’s Choice theme a little too literally. This is a picture of a Blackjack table (in case you couldn’t figure it out). What I find intriguing about this picture is how the light is focused solely on the table. Aside from the hands that creep into the light, the only thing lit are the cards because those are the only things that matter, a basic lighting principle, I’m sure. It also adds this feeling of powerful manipulation. Not being able to see the figures placing bets and controlling vast amounts of money, except for when their hand occasionally  slips in to do something, gives it a mysterious quality of outside forces acting upon the situation that one is entirely unaware to.
