This is my little mother who recently had a brain tumor zapped with radiation... I live in Southern Utah where we had an incredible view of the recent solar eclipse... When she popped on the glasses I just had to have this shot... I thought it fitting to use heavy PP to illustrate both events.
I grew up in Las Vegas & as a kid I experienced a lot of nuclear tests & saw many photos of people wearing glasses & in a very similar pose... I thought it all uncanny.

    Great shot. The heavy PS works brilliantly. Hope your mother is doing well. Did she like the photo?
