Last evening my wife requested a smoked pepper sausage. This was to be her first after her pregnancy – awaiting true delight. Unfortunately, by the time the sausage was delivered, my wife had to cater our child. In my haste, no other container was to be found. Hence, I herewith present to you: The sausage in the glass.

I decided to display the scene in black and white. This allows the viewer to disregard the possibly distracting green shades of the glass' stripes and brownish yellow of the oak coffee table. In turn, he or she may concentrate more on the story behind this unique setting. Also, lightning was pretty shtty and I had difficulties dealing with the shadow on the floor and wall.

However, the shadow tells a different story. While the sausage and the accompanying feeling of delight are obvious, the implications on mother nature are not to be missed. The shadow of the sausage draws an exceptional shape on the wall – a tsunami rolling over the edge of the table, to be flooding and destroying the foundation of our lives. The tsunami could display the gruesome and biologically unnerving methods involved in raising such sausage and the aftereffects of those on our beloved mother nature.

You can see that as bland and boring as this picture looks, the story behind can be quite intriguing.

I'm waiting for your professional nonsense and hopefully more intriguing descriptions or Interpretations.

Well if we're going with black and white nonsense...

A political piece about the white power movements effort to commandeer the ok hand gesture for nefarious reasons and that simple doggo love will always defeat hate. Truly moving in it's complexity and simplicity.

Loved the description. If you can gather some interest in something like a Professional Community Collection we could pin it or link it in the sidebar. I’m open to the communitie’s ideas on things.

I don't know much about photography, but being a passionate consumer of internet posting, one interpretation of this sausage stands out...

How about a ... professional nonsense community collection?

Start one. Or even a professional nonsense community on here.
