Love this!! Great lighting and shadow to create a more mysterious image.

Thank you so much, Amanda. I wish I could tell you I did this with the latest, state-of-the-art lighting equipment, but the truth behind the picture is a far different bird.

I was actually passing a little time at my neighborhood watering hole when a friend of mine, Peaches, came into the bar, wearing this mask and carrying a little two-bit, purple-green-and-gold, plastic parasol. I thought the mask was interesting and ripped if from Peaches' face, took it and the parasol to the front door, where I arranged them on the table-top of a gas space heater, and began shooting pictures. The best of the batch occurred when I positioned myself between the objects and the sun streaming in through the front door. Like I've always said, it's not the gear, it's what's between the ears. I'm so glad you like it. I like it a lot, too.
