It is perfectly possible to take color pictures with a black-and-white camera if you get to control the illumination of your subjects. Just take pictures under red, green and blue illumination, and then combine those into a single picture. Oh, and you can use your computer screen to produce the illumination. This results in pictures with an interesting color balance and a smooth illumination.

Vegetables

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a non-organic tomato! A can of iodized but non-fluoridated sea salt; a non-organic tomato; a bundle of parlsey; an infra-red remote control unit; all carefully laid on a scarf in a superb composition. Ten euros for a can of salt and a bundle of parsley, that's the monetary union for you. A tin box of non-organic green tea.

People

Celal and his girlfriend of the time Özge Özge Celal

Myself

See what happens when you don't keep the lighting constant? Myself in red pajamas, with cyan pajamas on my shoulder. I like to think of myself as half-way between Newton and Shakespeare. That would be a picture of my head.

Objects

A page from "Le Monde Diplomatique", mandatory reading for every liberal poseur. The cover of a Tanenbaum book. My hand, and various items from my wallet. A dictionary of mathematics. A stick of glue. An apple, presumably the one that I was holding in the other picture. A wireful optomechanical mouse - a primitive pointing device that actually had a dirt-prone, disgusting moving part in it.
