 Image for whatever the viewer imagines this to represent.

Handcuffs around a barbell. Barbell elevated above the surface a couple inches. Surface is black poster board. Light from a flash with a homemade snoot high camera left; flashed through a grid/cover from box fan to try to get the shadows across the cuffs and barbell. I first used a cooking rack as the cookie, but the shadows were too far apart. Then went to the cover of the box fan. I wanted harder shadows but I ran out of time and didn't have more time to experiment with the lighting.

Did you get arrested for taking pictures of your neighbor through their window again? :) Seriously, great job.
