Absinthe Mirror (Darkside)
Self-portrait, 2004
My first attempt at this concept. See the spanky-new version here. I liked the idea of doing a light/dark version of this…it’s just taken me 5 years to get it done!

That’s pretty cool. I have always been a little annoyed that my mirror image is actually better-looking than my real one.

Great image! It reminds me of those pale, kind of pantomime masks!
Selkie replied
Awesome, that’s just about right Jennifer…:)

Love this. The faces are different, but each looks like a mask – and that in itself is a powerful statement about the nature of humanity.
Selkie replied
Heh, yeah…the duality of my nature is something i am fascinated by.
