reflections on self

By

 

We took a walk around a junkyard full of VW love. Rich with history, my heart felt full and happy. I was looking at the past, I was gazing at the future. On days like these, it’s easy to find beauty in the rust and decay. I think about the stories these cars could share: the miles traveled, the backseat arguments, the flat tires. These volkswagons held lives and carried them from place to place, life to life. 

I’m drawn to shiny surfaces… and this day was no different. Glass reflects my own smile, it reveals the love I see before me and the peace I feel within me. Reflections are multi-layered in their storytelling. I’m drawn to the abstractness of environment and how I can place myself into it.

Today I challenge you to reflect on your self. Find a shiny surface, a looking mirror, a window pane, a storefront display… and insert yourself into it. Let your reflection tell us your story.

  21. Ah the old VDubs. We drove to California and back to Ottawa in one when I was 14. It seemed like punishment to my teenage self – to have to spend that much time cooped up with my parents during the summer – but I remember it fondly looking back.

  24. LOVE this idea. I only recently got a mirror in my home, and I still startle myself when I walk by it. Today I made a point of walking by it because for some reason everyone has decided that my children all suddenly look like me 😛 I had to compare haha

  25. Okay, I took the challenge. Why not? I was 5 minutes late for an appointment. Not a minute more! I even called to say I would be five minutes late. When I arrived, the glass door was locked up tight. I knocked on the glass. No answer.
    Well, what else are you going to do???

    After I got my pic, I knocked a little more loudly…

    It was fun. A weird shot, but an interesting challenge.
