The first image that springs to my mind when I think of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is Slartibartfast's planet factory.
For Iron Photographer 42 (what other number would it be?): a heart, a Hitchhiker's reference, and post-apocalyptic(ally lame) processing.
Lit with an SB-600 through a shoot-through umbrella to the front and above the camera, with CLS and the exposure value cranked up to +1 to get some light through that marble.
Let's face it, some Iron Photographer projects are more frightful than Vogon poetry. IP 42 is just such a case. How people managed to turn such absurdly difficult elements into such lovely photographs is a minor miracle.
A heart, a reference to the five-part Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and post-apocalyptic processing. What drug-crazed lunatic thought up those elements?
