hey I should I dedicate this one? I don´t know... the idea comes from Thomas Rusch... he´s pretty much my favorite photographer, and has an image like it in his portfolio... but with a beautiful women :)
There are lots of pictures of water reflections, but seldom do we see sails so prominently reflected. It requires blazingly white sails, bright sun, and the beautiful blue water of midcoast Maine.
A Kodachrome slide taken in 1992 with my Pentax K-1000, and scanned in with the Epson 4490.
Gonzaga High School in Washington, DC, is reflected in the windows of an office building across the street from it. Gonzaga is a private Catholic school founded in 1824.
The Fargo Theatre reflected in the shop window of Shannalee Boutique, North Broadway, Fargo, North Dakota.
Taken using homemade redscale film with Olympus XA2 camera in week 49 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:
Redscale is the name given to a technique of shooting photographic film where the film is exposed from the wrong side, i.e the emulsion is exposed through the base of the film. Normally, this is done by winding the film in upside-down into an empty film canister. Depending on the type of film used, the resulting colours seem to range from maroon, to red, to orange, to yellow.

Week 23 View 52
Well you know me I must have a reason for all my images which has been my main focus behind view 52 not just getting an image but a meaning behind it.
So this week I have been doing a lot of reflection of my life, choices I have made but mainly back to my week 14 and the space my head was in at that time. This is mainly down to the new job I have dealing with mentally ill people of all ages. Doing this job has really made me realise how close I was to losing the plot but also how lucky I am to have people around me who helped me through it and also to all you flickr people who sent me kind words of encouragement.
On a 23rd storey sky garden, the curved glass of the adjacent offices reflects the surrounding city in repetitive symmetry
Taken at Kenwood Towne Center in the Kenwood neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio.
This is pretty obviously looking East across the parking lot at the mall. As I looked that direction, I noticed how the beautiful sunset was reflecting off of the windows of the new stores that were under construction and thought it was a pretty cool scene.

Please let me know if you use or repost my photos--I'd love to see them used!
On Easter Monday, 28 March 2016 Dublin City Council commemorated the 1916 Rising with a day of history and more at Smithfield Square.
The popular ‘Dublin Remembers’ Learning Bus was there, alongside a large mobile library and a replica vintage ambulance. Dublin City Public Libraries, Dublin Fire Brigade and Dublin UNESCO City of Literature staff were there promoting Dublin City Council’s 1916 centenary programme. They were joined by re-enactors and historians who answered questions on the Rising and Dublin 100 years ago. Lia Mills, author of Fallen, the "Dublin: One City One Book" choice for this year, was there to talk about writing the book which is set in Dublin in 1915-16.

Taken at Auburn Botanical Gardens. Another attempted idea for the Canon Photo5 competition. Had fun doing this shoot BUT the water insects were annoying.
This reflecting pool is located across the street from the San Diego Convention Center.
This is a stitched, panorama-type image.
This is a glass wall of an office buliding reflecting another glass wall.
I think it creates a pretty interesting image with lot's of lines that takes some time to figure out.
Wake up this morning and enjoyed playing around with my optical toys.
the first device is the "Praxinoscope", invented in 1877 by the Frenchman Charles Reynaud. A band of pictures is reflected by the inner set of mirrors. The number of mirrors is equal to the number of pictures, and the images of the pictures are viewed in the mirrors. When the outer disc rotates, the quick succession of reflected pictures gives the illusion of a moving picture. Reynaud found a way to project the series of pictures onto a screen. He called this the "Theatre Optique." He used a long roll of paper to increase the number of pictures, and was therefore able to create a much longer show for an audience.
the second toy is the "Zoetrope", invented in 1834 by William Horner, who originally called it a Daedalum ("wheel of the Devil"). Horner's invention strangely became forgotten for nearly thirty years until 1867, when it became patented in England by M. Bradley, and in America by William F. Lincoln. Lincoln renamed the Daedalum, giving it the name of "zoetrope," or "wheel of life."
The zoetrope consists of a simple drum with an open top, supported on a central axis. A sequence of hand-drawn pictures on strips of paper are placed around the inner bottom of the drum. Slots are cut at equal distances around the outer surface of the drum, just above where the picture strips were to be positioned. To create an illusion of motion, the drum is spun; the faster the rate of spin, the smoother the progression of images. A viewer can look through the wall of the zoetrope from any point around it, and see a rapid progression of images. Because of its design, more than one person could use the zoetrope at the same time.
When the praxinoscope was invented by Reynaud in 1877, interest in the zoetrope declined. The praxinoscope offered a clearer, brighter image to viewers than the zoetrope could. In 1889, George Eastman invented flexible photographic film, which allowed a lot of film to be held on one reel. Whereas zoetrope picture strips were limited to about 15 pictures per strip, devices using reels of the new flexible film could present longer animations to viewers.
Finally, in 1895, modern cinema was born. Once moving pictures could be projected on a large screen, optical toys such as the zoetrope became used less and less frequently.

A complimentary shot to Reflecting (on) Differences. This one is from the archives however - I thought of if after posting the other one.
This is an art installation in Philadelphia on South Street. There are in fact many of these mosaics all over Philly - this one is a combination of colorful tiles and broken mirror pieces. I decided to use the mirrors to my advantage.
Delicate Arch in Utah is so often shown from a certain angle with a certain light. When I was there, more than fifty people were taking pictures from that certain angle, with that certain light, all at the same time. I couldn't stand staying in the same place as the rest of them and producing the same cookie cutter shot. At least not after I had gotten a few. When I made my way to the back side of the arch, this guy came up. The opportunity was too perfect to miss.
