"Sciatica: My Fesse of Pain"

 

Last week I caught a case of sciatica. For those not familiar with the condition, it is excruciatingly painful. I would not wish it upon my worst enemy.....unless they were really a jerk....because then I would. As I compose this posting, I am punching my leg and stomping my foot....and not in a fun way. Anyway, on to the image. For today's portrait, I wanted to incorporate my pain......and make it really confusing. So, what you are looking at here is a piece of Plexiglass which is reflecting the image of a mirror, in which I am glaring. Make sense? Simply put, I am standing to the right side of my camera, which is pointed at a slight angle into a piece of Plexiglass on a work bench. To my right is a tall, thin mirror. I am staring into the mirror, at my camera, whose reflection is bouncing off the Plexiglass in front of me. That makes sense......right? There is a gridded strobe on a C-stand directly behind the Plexiglass (and directly in front of me), and it is aimed at the mirror at my right. I adjusted the light so that the strobe's reflection was looking directly at me. At the last moment, I tilted the camera slightly, and sprayed the mirror with water. Only part of the water is in focus, as I was shooting at a 2.8, and the mirror was not flush with my face, thereby creating a rather shallow depth of field. Is someone actually still reading this? Let me read it back to myself. Makes perfect sense!! Thanks for taking a look!!

An infinite number of reflections exist between the polished brass lamp and the glass. Each reflection would be diminished in size. However, it would be reflected to be reflected again, and again, and again, ad infinitum.

I know that this is a bit crazy on the contrast and coloring, the shot itself is busy, there's grime on the mirror and even a bit of glare if you look carefully...but I like it.
