At the time, it seemed that taking pictures of eyes was the "hype". I figured i'd give it a shot and ended up with this finished product. This is in fact my own eye. No i did not use a mirror to see what i was taking a picture of. That is a frequently asked question I've received while showing others this picture. This is one of my personal favorites because it shows how photograpy isn't just the way you see something and take a picture of it, its the art of actually holding the camera a certain way and trusting your talent without having to look.
