In cities across Germany, university and high school students are walking out of their classes to protest changes to the education system.

“We need independent, publicly funded education,” Mo Schmidt, a student leader from the University of Marburg, told Deutsche Welle. “Because that’s essential for democracy.”

Under the motto “money for education instead of for banks” students are planning mock bank robberies, and intend to stage sit-ins and protests at banks. They are protesting recent bank bailouts by the government, at a time when tuition fees, once unheard of in Germany, have become the norm.

A Kind Of Magic

Macro-photographs of light interference on soap bubbles.
An ongoing long term-project begun in 2005.
The photographs showcased here are part of a series titled “A Kind Of Magic” and are available as fine art limited edition prints.

How it’s made:
A flat soap film is made by dipping a wire frame into the soap bubble mixture.
The frame is held above a dark surface, and a studio light is aimed at the bubble. The camera is aimed so that the reflection of the light will be seen over the entire surface of the bubble, and a macro-photograph is taken of that reflection.

All images are created completely in the camera with minor contrast and saturation adjustments.
