 The idea for this challenge has evolved quite a bit over the last few days. I wanted to do something like a chemistry lab, and then I thought about doing something along the same lines as this photo but much more complicated.
Well, ultimately I decided that brain-power would work the best.

The model is my brother who graciously agreed to pose for me.
The way I did this is I taped an ash tray to his head which protected him from the bare wires powering the light bulb. Down his back is the extension cord plugged from the wall to the bulb. The metal piece around his head is a ruler with holes drilled into it and speaker wire hot glued to both the ash tray and the ruler.

Hold my beer ... now watch this! Funny in a UTube sort of way, or a Darwin Awards sort of way, but not a photo I resonate with.
