Massage Therapist

Most people don't know that in my life before AIA I was and still am a Massage Therapist. I took this image with the concept in mind that my life is so crazy and rushed and always going so fast that I never have time for me or ever relax. I often wish when I am giving others massage, that I could receive a massage like the one I am giving to the client. This ghosting effect shows me giving myself the much needed massage that I desperately need. It makes me look at my life and I need to realize that I need to take time out for me. I used a 15 second shutter speed in a dark corner of the parking garage. I would have preferred for the picture to be taken in a grassy field but the light was to bright. I took the time to take off my jacket and give the photo the idea of another person giving the massage. I zoomed in using a 6.3 fstop. This gave me a close enough shot without making the picture too dark. I think I accomplished the goal I was trying to set.
