Lee Hendrickson’s photographs might best be described as an artistic chemistry experiment.

He grows the crystals on glass slides by mixing different powders (caffeine, citric acid) and solutions (acetone, wine), and then places them under a high-resolution microscope. To the naked eye, the crystals look like powder...
