 Excerpt from the Teleportation Notes of Dr. XI

At first it was only small objects, and only for short distances. Tonight I tried one of my grandmother's sterling silver forks. I set the camera on continuous burst, aperture priority at f14. At first, in the longest moment of my life, nothing happened. Then the fork disappeared in a brilliant flash of light.

I think this is a really cool picture and title. It was amusing to read the comments - it was only afterwards that I read the challenge it was submitted for. Haha! Teleportation is very silent, who doesn't know that?

Very abstract image and title but I am seriously having a hard time trying to get a feeling of silence from it. 4

I don't see a fork and your whites are over-exposed

I do not understand, in my modest opinion, the link with the silence, at least not so clear.

I appreciate a different take on the photograph. It's interesting, but feels more like sound than silence to me.
