Unfortunately, I can not take credit for this image. A good friend of mine, who helped guide me into photography, took this five or six years ago. We were tossing around ideas for a class we could teach together and ended up with some notes on a whiteboard. Dave took a shot of this, inverted the colors and photoshopped int into the background of this dramatically sidelit portrait he took of me in our office. He needed a subject for some portrait experiments that he was working on and went on to volunteer me. This is one of the best images ever made of me. Thanks, Dave!

Talk about stitching sight. Your half portrait invites the mind to see the text as its completion, making a kind of bilateral symmetry with what is there. What does the text say?
The text is a chunk of illegible notes on ideas for a course on the economics of crime and punishment. We never got th course off the ground.
a very interesting shot! :)
