Expressionistic and surreal and doesn't need the mention of Pandora's box to have very recognizable impact. The effort was worth it. -tv

Another fine dance with light. I have a lot of respect for the amount of time you must put into each of your shots. -COAmature

Well executed.

Just wonderful, Armin! The result is worth all the effort you describe below: elaborating the concept and experimenting with the light. -- db.

Oh, jeeeeez... I'm stunned - I'm stupified, I'm stunned. This is absolutely fine art. OH, what artist does this remind me of? It is truly perfection! Absolutely flawless. This would easily be found in a museum. Hat's off to you, Armin. I am sooooo truly, truly impressed. I'm just sitting here just shaking my head in amazement. Sincerely, this is world-class art. I just cannot believe it. Still shaking head... that's it, I'm done, I'm speechless. ~ Lonnit, floored

Creativity soars... You've done a great job on this idea, Armin, IMHO. ~Lydia

Thanks :o) ...ok, here's the workflow: completely dark room, ca. 1 sec of a 1000 W lamp from behind (and below) to get my head; then a small spotlight...on-off for the box, same for the hand...then on for the rays plus fast movement of the spot; the most difficult part was, to get enought but not too much light for my head, tried flash from different positions, the spot light...but the 1000 W lamp finally made it...took about 20 shots to come up with this one. Cheers, Armin

Cool shot and nice work. What's the skinny on how you made this Armin? It's such a tiny pin point of light - was it a laser pointer? How long did you hold your pose and when was it struck during the 30 second exposure? - Kelly
