Two: Self-Portrait No. 5

This one was taken in the bathroom at the Walt library branch. I had “remembered” the tiles as green/teal and the mirror as a huge piece of glass covering the whole wall, so imagine my surprise to find blue tile on one wall, white on the other, and two huge round mirrors. The shots I had planned out probably wouldn’t have worked anyway, and I thought the round mirrors made for some really interesting possibilities.

Mirrors really throw me off, and it is difficult for me to picture what the images will look like in terms of what will end up where (in this photo, I couldn’t really figure out where the blue would be and what would be behind me). It seems so obvious once I check the image in the display screen, but for the life of me I can’t seem to work it out before I snap the picture. Truth be told, I’ve always had trouble with spatial reasoning.
