Oil Stain Self Portrait
Uploaded: August 16, 2007
Wait a minute! The monthly theme is pictures of people taking pictures... yet this is a very colorful oil stain from a neighbor's minivan. What gives?!?
Look closely... the image of a person taking the picture is in each one of the oil blobs (the small green one on the left side shows it best). You guessed it... that's me. This really is an oil stain in the parking lot from our neighbor's minivan after a light rain. The colors are REAL, no replacement was done (still amazes me that oil does this). This is a resubmit of sorts... I posted another image from the "shoot" a few months ago, but I'm a little more pleased with this one.
