So Tired

Found inspiration due to health problem

6 years ago I had a burnout, since then it went from bad to worse. Nevertheless I continued working but it wasn't the same anymore.
I started to have several aches and I was feeling tired all the time.
A few months ago I was at the end of my rope, my doctor put me on sick leave and send me to the hospital, after several tests they diagnosed me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Apparently it's a combination of stress and pain that caused this fatigue. For more than 30 years I'm suffering from clusterheadache, bruxism, oedema in the right ankle... according to the doctors my body's telling me it's had enough.
I'm still in treatment but so far no significant result, but I'm not giving up yet!!
The clock symbolizes that before I never had enough time, reason: work overload, now I have too much time, reason: I'm bored but at the same time I'm too tired to do something, a very annoying situation.

Ode to René Magritte

Photomanipulation

It's been a while since I made a photomanipulation, I was looking for inspiration and as a big fan of René Magritte I tried to make something in the same feel and this is the result.

I used 3 RF stockimages (apple, bowler and suit) from www.sxc.hu.
In photoshop I added the collar of the shirt and made a cloud background.
