About
Another 'found' mosaic photo opportunity. I like the displacement of eyes and the camera lens by all the mirrors... look around, look everywhere, look differently.
Once I get an opportunity to return to this location (it's inside a touristy area with admission) I plan to reshoot it with my (new) Nikon D70... it handles low light far better, and allows me to properly set focus distance. I'm looking forward to it. I feel like there's potential here, it just needs better technical application.
Hi Jenny, following your question in the forum I thought I'd drop by to have alook at your portfolio. This one caught my attention as I took a comparable shot in February:

The focus is a bit on the background behind you, leaving your selfportrait a bit out of focus. Not an easy shot, though, and I like that you left the camera out of this shot.
Have you considered cropping off a tad off the top of thse photo? I think that would balance the composition a bit more. The interesting bits and pieces, hinting at your portrait are located in the lower section, and I don't think the top adds much more to the shot.
A creative composition.... (without patting myself on the back at the same time...)
You more or less define yourself as a beginner in photography, Ms. Brown. Your photos belie this. They show maturity, daring and in a way you remind me in your Masaic self portrait I and II of Picasso. As you show yourself on your page, I think it fair that you se my face as well. It is to be found on www.drspringmann.com side by side with information abouta book I recently published, which might or might not interest you. Thank you for your interest in my "The white head dress" Unfortunately I don't understand what you mean by "moire". The photo was taken near the beach in Tel Aviv and as far as I know there is no story behind it. Regards, Dr. Rafael (Rafi) Springmann p.s. If by moire you mean the small wavelets in the shadow, they are the result of imperfect scanning.
