Self Portrait Double Exposure
Week 34/52
This week’s theme for my 52 project is “Multi Exposure.” I first experimented with double exposures last year and found them interesting and challenging. This multi exposure is more subtle than some of the ones I did last year. It’s also a more personal self portrait than I normally feel comfortable sharing.
I’ve been dealing with chronic health issues the last few years. I also spent a lot of time in the hospital last year. So far, this year had been going pretty well — my health had been reasonably stable. I then had an unexpected hospital stay two weeks ago. Although it was a minor setback compared to last year, it was still disappointing and shook my confidence in my health. This self portrait is a moody reflection of my health challenges. I’ve superimposed a self portrait over a macro of some of the pills I take every day.
I don’t really like talking about my health, which is one of the reasons this shot is outside my comfort zone. However, it felt like an obvious choice for the weekly theme. Hopefully, I don’t look too sad and this shot isn’t too much of a downer.
