 This was the last on my list of 4 ideas. I did like the idea of playing off of Scalvert's Dance of the Serpentine Belt but wanted to see if I could pull off the other ideas I had before emulating his idea with a twist of my own. First idea did not work out and I did not want to 'cut' a hole in my bag to get it to look right. The other two ideas - I just did not have the time nor energy to drag myself to the locations due to a nasty head cold combined with a bad allergy attack. So this was my last one to try and hopefully get it right.

Camera is my old Olympus tied to thin jewelry wires attached to the ceiling (and due to the frustrating set-up the hook nearly fell out and almost dropped my camera)
Camera Duct-taped to body of 'snake'.
Body of 'snake' is electrical tubing that has firm bendable wiring inside the tube to get the shape. Tubing is tightly coiled in the bag and the top portion of the 'snake' body also had to be suspended with thin jewelry wire from the ceiling so it would not tip over.

A big thank you to my eldest for having patience with me and being my model for the shot.

Currently sitting at 108 votes at 6.5648. Pretty much happy with where it is sitting as that I didn't think it was going to get that high; hope it holds.

I like the creativity and lighting. I'm a bit distracted by the location, I wonder if outside would have looked nicer for this scene.
