June 27 2005 Nikolai Sklobovsky

7th place
Daydreaming
by Nikolai Sklobovsky

Thousand Oaks, CA, US

I got a new cordial set last weekend and for some reason had an urge to photograph it, preferably in highkey.. Well, you'll be the judge of it:-)

This is NOT a "photoshopped" image, although I used PS CS2 for the touchup. Taken with 828 handheld, Sunpak 555 on a stand with 48" brollybox attached, triggered by PoketWizard.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Nokolai: Sorry not to have commented sooner. The "looking glass" quality of this is an almost univeral metaphor for the difference between how we see ourselves and how others see us. To do it with glasses combines subtlety with symbolism in a quite elegant way. The whole in this is greater than the sum of its parts, and that's awesome. Fremiet

I'm glad you entered this one. It's quite surreal yet the reality is quite overpowering. It's amazing at what we see when we look into a mirror. -- Chris
