A photo and a clarification

Owl Meat Jerky, who posts here under various names, this one being the most interesting yet, e-mailed me this fascinating photo by Till Nowak from Framebox.com. He also asked I clear up the smoking ban issue because some people think the state law supersedes the city's.
OK, according to Sam Sessa, who talked to city officials for a story, the city has decided to fold its ban into the state's, so the smoking ban will go into effect everywhere in Maryland on Feb. 1.
And here's the caption for the photo, a bit technical for me, but it may mean something to you:
In November 2006 Till Nowak created the image "Salad". For this image he created 12 digital vegetable models
in 3ds max using photographic references. They were combined to become a tribute to the fantastic biomechanical creations of H.R. Giger and the vegetable portraits of Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
