As I was passing, I noticed the mirror in the hut and they invited me over to take my own photograph in the reflection. I started framing it up, then asked if I could include them in the picture and this was the result.

Ghost
Continuing to shoot with the 60mm macro as a walking around lens, just for kicks, and to see what I get. I noticed my ghostly reflection in a fogged up mirror and took this snap.
Opulence
The Royal Pavilion filled us with conflicting feelings: on the one hand it was gorgeous, ornate, beautiful, rococo, inspiring beauty; on the other its luxury and opulence were disgusting condemnations of the inequity in human societies.
Squashed
One exhibit at the museum featured a funhouse mirror. I’m not sure why, but as so often in galleries and museums, I felt compelled to take a reflective self-portrait.
Selfie
It seems I always find the museum’s mirror.
Barrio Impala
A few other shots from our time in Barrio Logan.

Phoenix Art Space @ the Fringe
During my hour of freedom in Brighton, we walked down to the Phoenix Art Space where some of my colleagues from Work Show Grow were exhibiting as part of Rethinking Eastern Europe. On another wall, I saw the set of images above, I am because you know me – A letter to womanhood. Note, it’s yet another exhibition where I found the opportunity to photograph myself in a mirror.
Musée Réattu
Hunting for the Transcendence show at Vague, I came upon the Réattu Museum, its courtyard and windows on the river (Rhône). I came upon a well-known French photographer with whom I was not familiar, Jean-Claude Gautrand, who documented many important stories for the latter half of the 2oth century and into the 21st.

Entering in the Picture
Michelangelo Pistoletto’s Standing Man (Uomo in Piedi) is one of his mirror paintings, allowing me to take this shot.
I Mean Me
After the Refik Anadol exhibit (last post) I exited through the gift shop where, once again, I found a gallery opportunity to photograph myself.
Magritte-Me
We were headed to the Magritte Museum and saw this window sign. Another example of me finding a mirror to photograph myself in at a museum.
Photo London
Once again, visiting photo galleries, I manage to find the mirrors and make a troublemaker of myself.
Beaney House of Art and Knowledge
Back in the High Street, we visited the Beaney House of Art & Knowledge. While in America we tend to revere the Magna Carta (statues of them above) for expanding the rights of the people, in fact, the Barons were wresting power from the King with no regard for the ‘people,’ beyond their own right to exploit them.
Once again, I confronted a museum mirror, this one with a sign encouraging photography adjacent. What else could I do? Click any of the pictures to see them all big.
The Woman in the Window
I’m not sure what she was doing but it involved the mirror and I signaled to her to take her picture and she assented.

Keswick to Walla Crag
The next morning, after another hearty breakfast, a taxi took our bags onward to our hotel in Keswick and deposited us in the town center. From there we hiked up to Wall Crag, at an elevation of over 375 meters, for even more stunning views including of the Derwent Water.
