Okay folks. Today we’ve got Part Six of the embarrassingly delayed photo contest.
Earlier parts here: [Prologue] [Part I] [Part II] [Part III] [Part IV] [Part V]
Today we’ve got a category that we’re loosely referring to as, “In book references” or that Oot might refer to as a bit of a “Brain Quest.”
In short, they’re books that you have to think about a little bit to understand what’s going on…
Oh… right. It’s the cut-flower sound of a photo contest that I started back in 2011…
This one took a little puzzling. But we eventually we figured out that it’s a reference to my name: In German, Rot = red & Fuss = foot. Redfoot.
From the drugged conversation Kvothe has with Simmon early on in book two….
No, wait, sorry. Blue flame. My bad.
An image inspired by the story of Jax. According to the photographers: We sacrificed a lot of blood in a dark ritual… no, strike that. We sacrificed a lot of blood to mosquitos while taking pictures in a nearby forest at twilight.”
At first I thought this picture was merely trying to appeal to my prurient interests. Which I don’t mind. Then I saw the title of the file and the little caption. I’m sure you can figure out the rest using a certain piece of verse from the book.
I see someone else has discovered how hard it is to make a mommet out of paraffin wax….
Yup.
If you click this one to embiggen it, you can see the passage being read deals with Denna’s ring…
Took me a while to notice the reddish light coming from the sympathy lamp. It’s worth your time to take a look at the titles of the other books, too.
I bet I know where you bought that….
It might help to know that “Holunderwein” is German for “elderberry wine”.
You’ll probably need to embiggen this picture to see what’s going on here. And maybe take a peek at this Goodreads quote.
This one took some work, so we’re going to give it an honorable mention:
And the same thing with this one, check out the detail of what’s written on the whiteboard in the background….
And here’s the winner:
I like the cut of your jib. Also, I am slightly terrified of you, and that magical combination means that you take home the prize in this category, the near-mythical golden Talent Pipes.
Honorable mentions will also get pins. Because they’re awesome too.
Keep in mind that there are *way* more pictures than I’m able to show here in the blog. You can check them out here on the photo stream.
