this photograph is one of my faverits what i'v took. techincally its a shit photo n i no its a shit photo but i've always bin fasinated with reflections n my faverit irish proverbs is: "a friends eye is the best reflection". i love this for so many diffrent reasons......first of all on quite a shallow level, i hate lookin in the mirror (speshaly after a night owt on the piss but thats normal) n i hate vanity even more so i like it for that reason. i also like it obviously cuz it implies that yuor friends will tell the truth. but i hate confrontin my flaws, physical or otherwise cuz i no what they are already so why should i have to continually be reminded of them?!?! this sort applies to our form n purpose in fine art modul in the sense that i wanted to look at self portraits (not alot of wokrs bin done for this modul though cause i'm findin it hard to do to at the same time - not even mentionin our contextual module) but not in the physical sense. its goin to mean that i have to be brutally honest about myself which shouldnt be a problem cuase i no my fualts (they've bin pointed out to me enough times) n i no the mistakes i've made so i dont see why i cant produce some sort of work from this. i also want to try n show that people can change....i no i have - some people wouldnt even recognise the person i've become. i need to spend more time on this modul cause i think i could make a rite go of it so i just need to pull me finger out me arse n get crackin (no pun intended, honistly!!!)!
by the way, the photos of the selfridges buildin reflected in the multi-stroy opposite!
its alos just reminded me how much i love it wen stuffs reflected in water....i love how it distorts n when yuo watch it when the waters still, then somethin disturbs it so it becomes blurred n then yuo watch it gradually return to normal.
