Photo Narcissism

Mirrors or reflections act as windows that sometimes combine many subjects within a single image and at other times show things differently where patches of light and distortions seem to create another world or dimension trapped in the glass before you.  Since the 15^th century and the advent of the mirror, artists have gazed into it and attempted to grasp their identities.

I think we all have attempted to make a self-portrait of ourselves –either using a cell phone or a mirror reflection.  It is a simple process –aim into the mirror, focus and shoot.  Well, maybe not that simple –yes, a little planning is necessary.  However, if you have a window behind the mirror where sunlight is reflected on to the mirror –the possibilities can be very unusual.  Here is some of my narcissism I found in the reflections of this other reversed world.
