I was messin' around with a reversed 55mm ol' school Minolta lens with 68mm of extension tubes and a lichened-up stick about a month ago. Didn't do much with the images then, but I ran across them last night, and these two seemed interesting for some reason. I don't know. Maybe my eyes were just...
