More Reflections

Just added one of my favorite images to the "Reflections" gallery on the website...



The flimsy quality of the mylar bends, blurs, and reflects back upon itself, creating multiple reflections and visual chaos. They can be so chaotic that it would be impossible to replicate a particular distortion. They can also be so transient that it only lasts for a fraction of a second, making it extremely difficult to really see the reflection and everything that's happening in it. Photographing them becomes very intuitive- I have to respond to something in front of me without even completely seeing it. Often times looking at the images after a shoot is the first time I actually get to see them.
