Retrograde Imageworks

An Associated Press photograph, found on the New York Times' website, is the basis of this image. In the orignal photo, a technician at one the December 1999 Presidential debates was setting up the wireless transmitter for Mr. Forbes' lapel microphone.

Added to this image is the access panel in Mr. Forbes' back, the frayed wires, the faint smoke wafting toward the ceiling, and the bright blue glow coming from regions within.
