This was shot for reddit’s /r/photoit subreddit: http://bit.ly/cJYZHb . The idea was to simply take a picture of something that would look different backlit and this was it. The hookah is my 36″ tall Khalil Mamoon that I received for Christmas two years ago. You can just barely make out the words near the top of the photo itself.
