13: Guilty Secrets

Spirit in Disguise (by gingerpig2000)

This one was simple to set up, and the idea grew out of the concept that it would be interesting to take something from one image and show it in the next, here the brandy glass appears in yesterday's image.

Guilt though, is hard to define as it means what we expect from society and what we personally desire are not the same things. Do we need this acceptance of two levels in order to survive by defining something that is ours and not simply doing what society has already defined for us? Perhaps we are not machines, and the laws we define are nothing more than an expression of our need to rebel or laziness in solving problems at source.

I decided to fool the guilt in people by mixing masochism with the worship of feet - a successful mix as it turned out. I was also pleased in how effective it was, partly because it was a difficult pose to hold for both of us - Ania had cramp in her toes while I was on my knees with my neck cranned hard up against the cupboard behind me.
