earth’s reflections
We spent about twenty minutes lying in various road puddles trying to get the Most Awesome Photo Ever.
That was enough time for the entire population of Earth (898 people) to drive by to look at us. And I know for sure that one person (I’m looking at you, woman in a black Bronco) went by more than once.

parsing the real
Reflections. I’ve lately become very interested in photographing them in various forms. I like the way they bend what’s real and what’s not. I like the way my brain kicks in to try to figure out what’s going on. But mostly, I like the search and the capture…

Maybe you already figured this out. (I bet you did. It’s really sort of obvious.) I enjoy photographing reflections in windows. And if the windows in question are in a small-town downtown, then I like it even more.
The thing about this is that not that many days ago (3 as of when I wrote this post) I stood RIGHT THERE and composed the photo, yet today I can’t tell you what side of the square I was on, what building had these gauzy curtains, or even what’s real and what’s reflected. The whole thing has my brain a little bit discombobulated.
But honestly, it’s that feeling of not knowing exactly what’s going on that attracts me to making these kinds of images.

light comes at you sideways
If you live in an arid region*, obviously your chances to see a harbor with reflections of boats (Or ships? Maybe I’m supposed to say “ships”?) are non-existent. Good thing I was traveling with people who live near water and could explain some stuff to me. (Except when to say “ship” and when to say “boat.” They probably assumed I knew.)
