I created a photo booth self-portrait at photo kina in Cologne, Germany in 2006. The photograph was taken with a special camera which created a three dimensional image that was embedded into a three inch high block of crystal. The effect is quite arresting and a bit bizarre .My wife Michelle resisted my request to do her. The Art Maui installation started with the crystal block mounted on a small marble base. The base contained a small light, which illuminated the floating head. This was all presented in a large five-foot high pedestal, which sat in the center of an eight by eight room. The walls were wall papered with 40 years of self-portraits from my photo booth. On the floor was a small marble plaque I had fabricated at a mortuary.
