Inspired by self-motivation.

I created this photo one lonely, depressed night. I had been thinking about my life, it's purpose and how it had been months since I created a new interesting portrait. I just didn't have the energy to motivate myself to make pictures. Exhaustion from working my day job and personal family stresses had taken over. During this photo session, I'd been thinking how I just wish my spirit would somehow rejuvenate itself and get busy on creating a picture.

I took about 20 pictures. This was my favorite and most meaningful shot.

    I am sooooo loving these...are you editing in photoshop?

    Thank you Laura! I guess I shouldn't say no photoshop completely, because the very little is just with color adjustments. But as far as the image crafting itself, this is straight from the camera. I'm cloned twice. On the bed, and walking alien-esq image of me above. I might show a contact sheet of the other images on my blog:

    Oh wow! This is so good. I love how the lights compliment each other. The window and its light, with the flashlight. This is truly a great job!
