Photo for February 27: Painting with Light self-portrait


Self-portrait with two flashlights and a long exposure: No photoshop wizadry going on here (other than splicing two exposures together), just a 25 second exposure and two flashlights (thank you to my lovely wife for her assistance). I was inspired by Gjon Mili's famous photo of Pablo Picasso. For one of the shots I tried writing my name in light which resulted in two problems: one, it showed up backward (because I wrote it from my left to my right, as if I wrote it on a mirror and you were looking at from the other side), and two, it was completely illegible anyway! However, this was a fun photo to create.
