This is actually one of the simplest pictures I’ve posted in weeks. It is merely a reflection of myself on a little shopping expedition, reflected in the window of an Anthropologie store. I always swing by their stores because they have the most amazing constructions of artwork: fantastical sculptures made from thousands of nailed-together books; paper in unbelievably complex structures like the one above.

Since it was a spiral, of course I needed a picture, and I was not really caring about the reflection.  But since I was outlined so clearly, due to a strangely strong light, I couldn’t resist.  Slight boost to the contrast and a crop.  My usual edits.  No tricks. Love this. And of course, it combines two of my more favored subjects:  reflectivity AND spirals. The possibilities are endless.  I’m beginning to think that there are more spirals around us then we are aware of, although I’ve gotten to where I can’t swing a Jimmy Choo handbag without hitting a spiral. Wasp nests would probably be excellent spiralistic photographic subjects: the intricate chambers and tunnels, the layers, the textures.

If your intrepid photographer stumbles upon such an object, unoccupied of course, you shall see the results here.
