New Self-Portrait

I was asked to submit "a photo of myself" in conjunction with an upcoming article.

Because of my daytime profession as an attorney, traditional "head shots" remind me a little too much of mug shots.

So I chose to interpret "a photo of myself" more broadly than usual and created the following image, which I hope portrays the interplay between "Lawyer Lynne" and "Artist Lynne."

There's no Photoshop magic here: I first created a stereoscope card, printed it out, composed the still life, and photographed it.(400 ISO; 6 secs. at f29, using a remote shutter release cable to prevent camera/tripod shaking: I don't like flash, especially around mirrors)

I particularly like the repetition of arcs in the composition.
