Fun with curved glass

More often than I dare admit, I’ll take a time-out from the everyday and take weird photos.

Why? Because life can be hard, and weird photos can be quite the antidote.

And here’s the thing: it doesn’t just work for me, because I can see total strangers crack the occasional smile when they think I’m not looking.

Today’s example comes to us from the meat department of the Sobeys store in Thornhill, just north of Toronto. This particular display feels like an amusement park funhouse, a riot of angles and reflections that present themselves only if we look inside the glass in just the right way.

Maybe it’s a simple escape from the more serious pressures of Planet Earth, or maybe it’s a broader metaphor for life. Or maybe it’s just a strange composition that marks a moment that I want to hold onto.

It can even be all or none of them. It’s the not knowing before the image is even created that makes us pick the camera up in the first place.
