Thin-film interference rainbow, everyday iridescence

Photographs thin-film interference in everyday settings: oil puddles in parking lots, anodized titanium, tempered steel, oxidized bismuth crystals, CD/DVD surfaces. The rainbow colors that appear when light waves interfere in nanometer-thin layers. Sees parking lots as abstract expressionist galleries.
