Side View

October 20, 2008 Elaine-

Mirror by Sylvia Plath

I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.

Whatever I see, I swallow immediately.

Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike

I am not cruel, only truthful –

The eye of a little god, four-cornered.

PREV My Desire
NEXT My Guitar...

    So many layers of lives and thoughts. I love all these different perspectives, like compartmentalizing everything, keeping it all in place. Your tones are fantastic Elaine. Love this one 🙂

    Nice shot, really like all the different elements you have gotten in this shot. Did you have to drive around a bit to capture only one car in the mirror?Great tones too.As usual lovely processing, well done

    Interesting that this should carry two different perspectives (counting the frame of the mirror as a second) without a human subject. But there’s a wonderful presence here, of *being*. In a way it reminds me of the first-person shooter videogames, Half Life and F.E.A.R. You, the photographer aren’t visible – despite referencing yourself – yet your presence is very much there. I like this alot, it makes great cinema, I think, if that isn’t too pretentious. 🙂

    Interesting atmosphere! Because of the tones it makes me think the photo taker is a detective from an old movie and is on a stakeout!

    Did you shoot this one with your new camera? I’m guessing you did. The pastel hues are fantastic. I especially like the pink around the bridge.:-)
