SELF-REFLECTION
On the Rorschach test, when people often comment about the symmetry of the inkblots, it is a sign of their being introspective and self-reflective. For this image, I found it amusing to think about a cow contemplating itself. I choice a square format to convey the idea of an introspectively boxed-in bovine, with the enclosed fence reinforcing the idea of that dilemma. The religious statue in the background, which straddles the symmetry, suggests a solution to the cow's predicament.
Although I created this image by duplicating, flipping horizontally, and reconnecting the photo to itself, you'll notice that not everything on the right side is symmetrical to the left. Perfect symmetry feels very predictably static, while symmetry that is a bit "off" makes the eye wonder and wander.
This shot was taken on the coast of Ireland.
sometimes it's nice to just sit around with a few good friends. I appreciate those quiet times. they remind me how simple it all really can be.
and yes, this image is upside down. ; )

"Now to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravitation before going for a walk. Such rules and laws are deduced from the accomplished fact; they are the products of reflection."

Taken on the third floor of The First National Bank building in Alvin, Texas, for the Monday Photo Challenge group assignment to shoot reflections.
This reflection of trees in a puddle on my patio was taken only a few minutes after the most tremendous hailstorm!
Trinity Church and another building seem to become one in the reflections on the glass-skinned Hancock Tower.
The water reflection of three people walking next to a pond in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Shown here is the original photo flipped vertical for a more conventional upright view.

This is a reflection of the sunrise on a marble bar top at work. I like the way that it looked like water with a boat in the distance.
Reflections of winter on the Amite River.
It was such a dreary day today. It rained all day and the sun never even peeked out all day long.

On my little walk this afternoon I stumbled across a reflection in the granite facade of a building.
Reflection of the Idaho state capitol building off the side of a neighboring office building. It was nice to have a pretty blue sky while I was shooting on this particular day.

REFLECTION OF MINERAL
The site is located near the center of Tokyo. It is a small 44m2 corner plot bounded by two streets. Conforming to legal conditions and in response to the client’s wish for a ‘roofed garage’ the volume was trimmed from various directions. Using the words ‘Mineral’ and ‘reflection’ as guiding concepts, Atelier Tekuto proceeded to use subtraction as a positive tool for design.
MINERAL
Minerals are phenomena that combine abstract properties (conceptual objects) with nonfigurative properties (objects whose presence of matter is more tangible). Changes from transparent to translucent to opaque occur according to light intensity and angle. The mineral body cannot be regarded as a simple element.
REFLECTION
Reflection is a recent concept pertaining to the perception of space. Vision is an important factor in the recognition of space. By controlling geometries (facets with three factors: transparent, translucent and opaque) and entangling them in a three-dimensional way inside the internal space, visual reflection is induced. This results in a deviation from the restrictiveness of space.
As people move inside the space, or as light enters from changing angles, the facet’s presence changes, creating a dynamic space. In contrast to the abstractness of the polyhedron are the kitchen, counter shelf, stairs, floors and toilet box equipped with functionality that exist as nonfigurative objects.
The third floor bathroom unit features a mirror finish in stainless steel, which combines both concepts of object and reflection, and presents itself as a substitution of both ‘minerals’ and ‘reflection’.
The Relationship with the surrounding environment is expressed in the small plaza open to the street, a piloti like space that emerged after placing the garage on ground floor. Its liberating feeling might trigger some change in the surrounding streetscape.

敷地は東京の住宅密集地にあり、5.15mと3.70mの道路に鋭角に挟まれた、44.62㎡の小さな異形敷地である。建築法規的に道路斜線が二方向からかかり北側斜線も含め、最大ボリュームの形が多角形に切り取られる。
若きクライアントの3つの要望（面白い・最大ボリュームの確保・屋根付き駐車場）と敷地が持つ絶対条件から最初に思い描いたものは地中に『鉱物』が埋れているイメージ。
様々な角度から受ける規制と採光、住居としてのスペースを最大ボリュームから削りとり、多角形がもつ面の構成を壁・床・天井・開口と、建築における空間構成へ置換して形態を決定した。
その行為はダイヤモンドの価値を決めるのに最も重要されるCutと同様である。
