I was a Navy Photographer's Mate on deployment to Misawa, Japan in 1979 with my squadron when I made this portrait. It was a boring day at the studio, and I pointed the camera directly in the mirror that we provided for the officers to check their 'look' before we made their portrait. When I printed the resulting negative, I reversed it in the enlarger, resulting in a corrected un-reversed image, and just impressed the hell out of all the other people in the studio with my creativity and technical ability. Yeah, right.
