I miss all y'all in Flickrland, even though it was nice to take a break after completing my 365days project.
I decided to make December a month of reflection, and to take a reflection self-portrait every day for the month to give myself something to do before my next 365 project (2009: a purists' year in pictures)
I figured a month of reflections (as in pictures) accompanied by, well, reflections (as in thoughts) would also be a great lead-in to the new year.
So my thoughts for the day:
Today I went to the dentist for the first time in several years... I was pleasantly surprised by the dentist, who was very thorough, and very affordable. I *only* had 2 cavities and some serious plaque. I really should take better care of myself, and actually DO these things that I know I should do (like going to the dentist).
Oh, and for hnsfwm, I hope it's okay that my "windows" are the computer kind... no disrespect intended, just trying to be clever and fit it all in. :)
Experimenting with Lee Friedlander's techniques, from a suggestion of Paul Ewing's.
Paul had suggested I look into Friedlander's work, especially one of his reflection self-portraits, Wilmington, Delaware 1965, and try to figure out the technique.
Here are a few notes I made while studying this piece:
Friedlander is standing on a concrete sidewalk (squares) facing a furniture shop window.
Sunlight behind him reflects the furniture into the camera and the sidewalk.
The bright mirror-like seat-back is tilted somewhat upward, brightly reflecting the light (overexposed) but also seeming to separate his head from his body, leaving mostly legs below. He may have been holding the camera mid-torso so its reflection would be obscured between the seat and the back.
Note the lines of the concrete squares. They show through the furniture, but not through his reflection.
The brick pattern may be the interior floor as the furniture shadows are cast over it. It seems the floor is brick.
The bottom extension of his legs is actually his shadow, cast by the light reflected back from the window. From his shoes up is his shadow cast by the sun directly into the window.
On reflection, I'm glad I stopped the car to take this picture. Catcleugh Reservoir, Northumberland, 22/7/14

I had fun shooting people on the beach at South Padre Island, TX. I knew this would be for the 'Reflections' monthly contest for NAPG group.
Reflections of the "Floating" Chinese Restaurant permanently moored in Millwall Inner Dock.
The Millwall Dock was constructed by John Aird & Co. to a design by Sir John Fowler and opened in 1868.[
The dock is L-shaped, with an 'Outer Dock' running east-west, and an 'Inner Dock' running north from the eastern end. It originally contained around 36 acres (14 hectares) of water and had a 200 acre (81 hectare) estate. The western end of the Outer Dock was originally connected to the Thames at Millwall by an 80 ft (24 m) wide channel. The spoil from the docks formed the area of wasteland known as the Mudchute. A graving dock for ship repairs was constructed at the SE corner of the Outer Dock (one of 6 originally planned), and later lengthened to 555 ft (169 m).
With reorganisation by the Port of London Authority in the 1920s, the northern end of the Inner Dock was connected to the West India Docks by the Millwall Passage, and the direct connection to the Thames was filled.
The dock was used mainly for timber and grain, a trade which eventually moved down river to the Port of Tilbury with the construction of a major grain terminal in the 1960s. A McDougall's flour mill on the south side of the Outer Dock was demolished in about 1980.

6x6 impressionist oil daily landscape painting on canvas panel. The smooth reflection of the tree in the water contrasts with the texture of the tree and brush on the bank of the creek.

I liked the reflection of the machine in the puddle!
