Us, exponential
Lake Worth, Florida, December 2006
This little pizza restaurant just across the street from the beach was very good to us: Great food that made the kids happy, and a great set of opposing-wall mirrors that allowed me to handhold this image just before we headed back to the beach.
I've played with mirrors before. Click here, here and here for earlier examples of the optical games I play when the shiny surfaces line up just so.
I love this picture because it is yet another glimpse of yet another magical moment I got to spend with one of our children. I guess I'm just a really lucky person.
Your turn: Do you do mirrors with your camera? Why?
Note from the road: I'm blogging this wirelessly from the hotel lobby in Framingham, MA, which is a town west of Boston. I took some rather unconventional pictures on the way here. The most interesting ones involve a jumbo jet, water, and a gigantic window. I look forward to sharing them with you upon my return.
How can you not at some point use a mirror(s)? There are so many interesting things that are going on in a shot like that your possibilities are endless. Good to see that you still have a very willing subject...that always helps!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your new pics. My new camera is arriving on a flight in the am with my better half. What will I shoot first??? :) SO MANY DECISIONS...I AM SO EXCITED!
Thanks for everything! Travel safe.
Nice! Well I am not a photographer like you but I will send you a shot that I did last Nov while down in Florida sitting on my balcony watching the sun rise at 6am. I used the reflection of the door. Let me know your impressions.
ReplyDeleteBe well.
amazing shot!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love this one, Carmi. Very nice use of the reflections. And welcome to New England. Framingham isn't too very far from my home in CT. Enjoy the trip!
ReplyDeleteNice pic Carmi. Your son looks like a bundle of fun. Bet he thinks a lot of his dad.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Anna....let's see those pictures you mentioned! A jumbo jet, water and a big window - hmmmmm.
I've been there many times, mostly to the stores n restaurants along Route 9. Also had a pal who graduated from Framingham State College. I grew up a few more cities East of there, 15 minutes Metro-West of Boston.
ReplyDeleteI haven't posted mirror shots yet, (recently put up 3 '07 beach shots) past did some selfs, glass-door reflections, n more back in Uni photo class.
Great shot! I love the warped looking space. Safe home-
Great picture, Carmi! I like seeing you in one for a change. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the birthday wishes last week!
See you again soon.
What a cool shot, Carmi. Very clever. I'm afraid I've never used mirrors when I"m shooting photos.
ReplyDeleteHope Boston was good to you.
OOOOH this one is frameable and gallery worthy.
