A late Spring day, late afternoon. A sunny courtyard near the British Museum. The courtyard is divided from the street by railings and bounded by buildings on the other three sides. To my left, as I face the street, are a windowless wall, a plant in a tub, and on the wall the shadow of the railings. To my right, a large window holds a reflection: wall, plant, shadow. I point the camera one way, then the other, capturing the same trio twice. The photographed reflection is paler. Later, with the editing software, I adjust the contrast and the two photos converge, become mirror images. Remove the heightened contrast and the mirror becomes window again. Light, memory, interpretation.
there is something enormously satisfying about these, and kind of mysterious like many of your best shots
