Four photographs are stitched together in a 2 by 2 grid. In the first image, we see tattoos on both of a person’s inner arms and inner wrists. The second photo shows how the person captured this shot by laying their phone on their shoulder and propping up its corner with their chin. A third photo reveals the person’s laptop open in front of them, showing how they took a photo of themselves. The fourth and final image answers the final question of how the viewer saw the laptop taking a photo of the person photographing their tattoos. The person leaned a mirror against their laptop to capture the point-and-shoot camera, which was angled to show the scene of the person taking a picture of their tattoos and being captured by their laptop webcam.
It’s one of those things that’s funny to read about later, but to experience it in real time was something else. It all started with a single seemingly innocent picture.
