Seeing Within

I took this while I was on top of a mountain in Banff during the winter. There was a little cabin, and it’s interior can be seen inside my reflection in the window. Meanwhile the outdoor activity outside the cabin is reflected around my body.

Looking back at this it sorta reminds me of the painting by Edouard Manet “A Bar at the Folies-Bergere” where the world the bar tendor is looking down on is reflected in the mirror behind her.

Although not intended, many stories can be interpreted from this; and whatever that maybe, I’ll leave that up to the viewer :)

This work has been featured in:
Weekly Them Challenges

Actually it’s a funny story; I entered my work into that group to enter it into the Cameras challenge, and it was approved only after the voting had already started. Seeing as this particular group approves work based on the challenges it’s a bit strange that happened. Well I decided to let that go; it wasn’t a big deal. But two days after the challenge closed this work got featured among with the top ten :o)

    yes, many interpretations, which is why it is so good; and half the fun of making the picture.
