A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes?
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me?
Is he trying to get out
Or trying to enter me?
- Ozzy Osbourne, "Diary of a Madman"
A little something for all of us who sometimes feel trapped behind their own eyes.
Here are the elements for Iron Photographer 35:
1 - communist hair
2 - a reflective surface
3 - sepia
The first element, communist hair, might need a bit of explaining. It's a term coined by our own Jamelah, who defines it as "wild and unruly and pretty much always fighting some sort of revolution." It doesn't have to be YOUR communist hair. We're not going to check the hair's provenance. It doesn't even have to be human hair. It could even belong to a wig. The important thing is that it looks like it's willing to take to the barricades.
The second element is a reflective surface. That's pretty self explanatory. We don't care what the reflective surface is. A mirror. Water. A window. Nor do we care what's reflected in the surface (with the usual disclaimer about nudes if you want to post the photo in the group pool).
Finally, we want the image to be sepia tinted. I think that's pretty clear.
