Agent of death!

I was reading Barthes, passing away the ever-so-slightly duller hours in a waiting room and heard about his references to the photographers as 'agents of death'. Classic term, I love the kind of nerdy-ness with the idea of a video gamer escaping from the games workshop to don his camera to become an 'Agent of death!!' Its like the title of a crappy spy movie. Yet I love the phrase for that. Agent of death is the relation between the photo being dead and ourselves the instigators.

Anyway, a slightly darker image. Similar to yesterdays in the slightly uncomfortable view of ourselves, yet it not being quite real. Here is a blurred (alike our mind and memories) notion of self is projected onto the wall.

This would of probably worked a little better with a wider lens, i infact used 2 pictures combined together. So its less of the first person view. I may work on it a little more to emphasis the creepyness in photoshop. But here I posted the rawest form.
