On Saturday, while visiting a barn sale, I saw this mirror on the wall. I love reflective surfaces, so I automatically snapped a picture and kept going. When I got home, I viewed it on the computer, noticed how much of the barn I could see in its dirty surface, and had an idea.
My friend, Sandra , has been doing a series with two identical wedding dresses she purchased cheaply at a flea market. She uses one as a prop in various locations, from barns to public parks to railroad tracks. (The other has been a back-up). Sandra comes up with some interesting contexts for a simple, white dress!
My idea was to imitate her, but to use the convex mirror to display where I am. Visiting the river, playing with children, sitting in my office. Different environments, same gawdy plastic frame.
So, I ran back to the barn the next day. I figured the owner would sell it to me for five dollars.
Alas, someone beat me to it. Minutes before I arrived, it had been sold. I checked Amazon, but they don't have quite the right thing. And, what they do have is expensive.
So, now I'm on the look-out for a convex mirror. Glad it's yard sale season!
More convex glass, in the easier-to-find ovals, or cameos, as I think of them. There are some beautiful Miriam Haskell beads on her comb which come alive when underlit.

A platera or display cabinet with convex glass
First Quarter, 20th century, Manila
Narra with glass, mirror, brass hardware
216 x 143 x 51 cm (85 x 56 x 20 in)
A rare platera or display cabinet used to showcase and store treasured dishes, silverware and glassware. Made up of two separate pieces, the upper portion has convex glass door cabinets that sit atop the wider lower portion that has four drawers, and below them middle wooden cabinet doors flanked by convex glass door cabinets on either side. Acanthus leaves decorate the flanges and the stands connecting the two pieces; the bevelled mirror behind it is a new replacement. The brass swan-neck drawer pulls are also replacements. However, the bevelled convex glass panels, brass door pulls and the ornate door keys are all original. Supporting the heavy ensemble is the lower frieze carved with flutes and fillets that stands on bulbous and ringed ball feet. The rounded convex corners give this platera a delicate and elegant stance. In this well-kept condition, a classic platera like this hardly comes by and will certainly adjure awe in the dining room.

A convex mirror, fish eye mirror or diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source. Convex mirrors reflect light outwards, therefore they are not used to focus light.
The passenger-side mirror on a car is typically a convex mirror. In some countries, these are labelled with the safety warning "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear", to warn the driver of the convex mirror's distorting effects on distance perception. Convex mirrors are preferred in vehicles because they give an upright, though diminished, image. Also they provide a wider field of view as they are curved outwards.
These mirrors are often found in the hallways of various buildings (commonly known as "hallway safety mirrors"), including hospitals, hotels, schools, stores, and apartment buildings. They are usually mounted on a wall or ceiling where hallways intersect each other, or where they make sharp turns. They are useful for people accessing the hallways, especially at locations having blind spots or where visibility may be limited. They are also used on roads, driveways, and alleys to provide safety for motorists where there is a lack of visibility, especially at curves and turns.

Here is another post for the "holes" topic. This time it is a picture of a metal sign with what looked like BB holes shot into it. I thought it was interesting how one hole poked through one way and the other one poked through the other way making a concave and convex kind of design.
The conoid shell of stipe dwellers is lower than on frond dwellers because the skirt of adult growth flares out laterally (1). At GS5 the adult skirt, extending all around the shell, forms the majority of the shell. The posterior is two smooth convex curves with a very distinct break of slope between them (2) where the skirt starts to grow outwards more than downwards. The anterior is convex on juvenile growth and straight on the adult skirt, with a break of slope where the two parts meet (3) . The aperture outline is usually a broad oval, approaching a circle on this specimen. The aperture rim is strongly curved up from the horizontal at the ends to fit the bowl shaped pit (4) .
Growth lines on the adult skirt are continuous around the whole shell (5). The thickness of this one, now opaque, has been increased by mantle secretions over the whole of the interior which is dark brown with some iridescence peripherally (6) plus a whitish layer (7) within the horseshoe-shaped scar of the pedal-retractor muscle. The exterior surface is smooth with no epizoic growth, but some have small amounts, including algae (see image 27Pp flic.kr/p/YRpsdK ). Blue lines on the juvenile growth continue on the adult growth, alternating with red-brown rays (8) and turn red-brown on the latest growth near the rim. On this specimen there are a a distinct pedal-retractor-muscle scar (9), and a clearly marked, thin, white mantle-attachment scar (10).

Pseudo-Convex Hull operation rewritten in Grasshopper as an example.
The definition wraps a set of curves with a bounding polygon while still maintaining some concave corners. Sliders control the level of resolution.
This was originally used in my thesis (a more robust version in GenerativeComponents is step 9 in this diagram) to define floorplates where the building massing and cores were moving independently relative to one another.

This convex mirror has seen it all: backpacks, queueing schoolkids, disoriented gringos, the slow sprawl of gentrification. Look closely and you’ll spot us near the centre, caught in the act of looking. Cities reflect back more than they give, and Bogotá is nothing if not layered.

Alamance
This student is looking at one of the hallmark images of our university: Alamance Academic Building. Her eye acts as a convex mirror. Light is reflected from the outer surface of the eye. The rays from any point on Alamance diverge after reflection from the surface of her eye, as though they were coming from some point deep in her pupil. The image of Alamance is virtual because it lies behind the mirror (eye) at the point where the object’s rays appear to originate. As with most convex spherical mirrors the image of Alamance appears to be upright and smaller than the object.
