Jennifer Bishop “Urban Mirror” 9/27/18

Inspired by the ethereal beauty of David Moore’s image of magical spectacles, I took to the streets today with an ornate mirror I had saved for some unknown purpose. I was hoping to make a photo that showed different aspects of the city in real time and in the reflection of the mirror. I tried variations of tree branches reflected in the mirror within an urban landscape, but in the end this was the version that engaged my interest the most. I like how spare and angular the telephone poles are, and the quiet posture of the man passing by, and the alternate reality of the pedestrian crossing sign.

Love that you carried a mirror around to make your photo. It is so well done, it doesn’t look placed but found.

    Thanks Eliot, I was aiming for exactly that. Most of the day’s shots were ruined by a sense of the mirror being placed – something I could really only distinguish in the photos after the fact, on my computer screen. It’s funny the things you can only really see later. Making success have a degree of accident to them.
