"Les annees , 1940"

I chose this picture to emulate so I could use my guinea pig in the picture!  I emulated it by wearing a hat, and putting a small hat on my guinea pig (resembling the monkey.  However, I made the picture my own by making the background black and using some dramatic lighting to over expose the guinea pig.  This picture was taken by holding the camera out in front of me.  I did not use a self timer which made the shot a little bit difficult to take.  For lighting, I used a desk lamp with a sheet over it.
