 This simple concept took 3 shoots to get right. The first one got felled by geometry. As in there wasn't enough of it in my tiny bathroom.

Then I switched to a different, simpler concept, and it was pretty good, but this one kept calling to me.

Then I remembered that my dear friends Cherie and [user]rgrenaderphoto[/user] have exactly the kind of bathroom where this would work. And here we are.

But even with the prefect bathroom, getting the hand to look like it was coming through the mirror was the hardest part, and I'm not convinced I got it right.

Still, I have to start paying rent to Bob and Cherie because I've used their pool, their cat, and now their bathroom for my photos.

Congrats! I'm just imagining you showing up with camera and tripod and asking "May I use your bathroom?" 😂
