The fruits of boredom

Being that I live in Jacksonville, Illinois, I get bored pretty frequently:


This started with me seeing what the longest shutter speed I could get was. After finding the right values (25 sec, f/22, ISO 100), I took another picture, only this time I took the photo, then went to get something from the table that is in the frame. I noticed that I could see through the blur that was my body. So I took the photo again, this time standing very still. I was actually falling forward very slowly, luckily I didn't lose my balance or fall out of focus. I did blink a few times, but apparently quickly enough so that my eyelids weren't picked up in the exposure.

For those of you who are wondering, that's Rocky on my t-shirt, running through the streets of Philadelphia. And yes, there is significant water damage to the wall behind me. That's why it's all wrinkly. Hopefully it won't cave in until after I move out.
