Description
for the love of knowledge and wisdom

-----
Nikon D80 + 50mm F1.8. High ISO due to low lighting. An apple with a pi carved on it on some string was hung on top of a small math book on dark carpeting. A flashlight was used for lighting to cast a shadow onto the apple (not sure if I like the lighting but it was the only way to get a clean shadow given my limitations with lighting equipment.) The circular shadow appears as a heart due to the page indent and angle. GIMP for post editing. Brightened slightly. Added transparent blue layer.
-----
Cliche but I've always wanted to try it

Update 5/8/10 - I'm not sure why some people keep interpreting this as being Twilight or Death Note related I just wanted a picture about the love of Knowledge - the apple being the forbidden fruit of various religions and mythologies, the pi symbol representing mathematics as a concrete branch of knowledge, and the algebra book.
