Monday Morning's Feeling

... stumbled into the shower this morning ... feeling my age ... loathing the thought of work .... and as I prised each eye successively into focus the words on the shower gel slowly impacted on the surface of my consciousness ... and I thought ....

"LIKE HECK!"


Been wondering how to photograph this all day. Decided to try and put tension in the image, break the rule of thirds etc and then play with contrasting the promise of freshness in the gel and the decrepitness I actually felt.

See setup here.
The background is part of an 1900's magic lantern I picked up at the weekend.
