" let me be your Main Man let me be your Cowboy let me do your Boogaloo hmmm...what does this make me? I see...then I'll be the Indian " -Jane Siberry, Ingrid and the Footman Inspired by TSC "Personal belonging", I took a shot of this chessboard I bought in 1990's. At that time I used to listen Jane Siberry because I found her lyrics fresh. I guess at that time, as an young adult, I was seriously trying to form my understanding on what is black and white, east and west, north and south, friend and foe, a difference between good and bad. And the answer of course is somewhere between... Or depends on the point of view. Technical challenge here was to use selective lighting and all the rest done "in-camera" (high contrast B&W).

Soundtrack 'Dominion' by Jens Buchert: soundcloud.com/jens-buchert/dominion I did a retake of my old shot I took over six years ago: I have often planned to do this, and shoot some of my ideas again with better gear, but also in order to find some new twist on my old subjects. I recommend this to everyone. You will keep the old skills sharp, and also improve them, and maybe even discover something new. For this shot I held my mobile phone LED as a light source, holding it on my left hand. Then thanks to new better camera, I was able to take hand held shot by holding the camera on with my right hand. The lighter double shadow is caused by the light reflected from the chess board surface. The same chess board can be seen also here:

This picture I took in late 1990s using a pinhole camera with three pinholes, thus producing three partially overlapping images.
