Seven Years Bad Luck (164/365)

Someone broke a mirror in the alley; isn't that 7 years of bad luck?

Morning Sun (49/365)

Reflections upon my bed of a fish held in sunbeams shining through the bedroom window this morning.

"I have come to believe that there are infinite passageways out of the shadows, infinite vehicles to transport us into the light."

(Martha Beck)

In the Lens (34/365)

"Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see." 

(Martin Luther King, Jr.)

Reflections (22/365)

While wandering around, wondering about where to take my next picture of Ralph, I started thinking about how some of my other 365 friends have been thinking outside the box.  I've seen pictures of snow globes reflected in faucets, rabbits made on the inside of toilet tissue rolls, and trees promoting peace. What, I wondered, could I do with Ralph?  It was at this point I stumbled across a glass cake holder.

After taking yet another fish picture that bored even me, I wondered what would happen if I took a picture from above, straight through the round knob on the top.  It was made of glass, so I figured Ralph would somehow reflect through it, although I wasn't sure how.  Turns out, one of the first pictures I took from this angle led to me realize that the glass would reflect Ralph "backwards," which was pretty cool.

Pushing it one step further, I aimed lower and got the shot I was hoping for.  One where, Ralph is in the picture, reflected in the glass knob, but he is (almost) completely altered.  Slowly, I am learning to think outside the box...
