Today's photo and its title have sort of a double meaning. I no more encourage the drinking of alcohol than I do think it is an inherently bad thing. However, for some it can be a constant struggle to deal with an addiction to the drink. Today's photo was taken to not only experiment with the off-camera flash but also to help bring to light the reality of alcoholism. It is an addiction that is always there, hiding in the shadows but never gone. Whatever your views, this post is not meant to offend but to bring light to a struggle that society tries to sweep under the rug and keep secret. Regardless, this is still just a photo and it was fun to try the angles with the flash and variety of power levels. There is a ton of additional creativity that having 2 flashes provides and you can count on a number of attempts at interesting lighting. I hope you enjoy it!
