Description


Know that I took this photograph in October 2011. I have never done anything with it until today. I had to study it to figure it out. What do you see? What is inside, what is outside?

What I see is the lines converging at your camera lens ala Outer Limits or Night Gallery! maybe this is a Vanishing point for someone (not you)

other than that, I see one hell of a cool photo that could be Framed and displayed in a High-end gallery!

I love the photo and I am guessing that you are outside photographing the reflection of the building across the street! Well done Bill.

I won't say what I see ... it might spoil the mystery for other people! :P You know how much I love reflection shots, and this one is spectacular!

Wow, this looks like one of Chip's "6 layers of reality" shots...I love how you set it up and how you got all those layers focused so perfectly! Beautifully done!

I'm not at all sure I know! But it is endlessly intriguing and I have been investigating it for several minutes.

I see a reflection of a 'nosy parker' (lol) trying to see what's inside which I think is a shopping mall and in the reflection I see a lot of very tall buildings in the street. this could also be a car show room.

Really great shot! I see your reflection and the reflection of what's behind you. This kind of photo requires a good camera. Thanks for posting. It needs a bit of analysis and thinking to get the set up. Keep up the good work! This was a really fun challenge. :-)

I'm thinking you're taking a photo aimed at a window on the opposite side of the street from the building we see behind you, though those lines converging on your camera lens have me stumped. Definitely intriguing & a little mind bending...

What a marvellous shot and selfie :-) LUV the reflections, but I am not sure what you did here :)

(btw, I think the last two links in my last comment were the same shot...sorry, if that's the case!) This is filled with ambiguity, and I really can't tell where the reflections begin and the "real" city ends. You've got a kind of radiate-from-the-center feeling here, because the lines of some interior canopy/roof are blowing out from your camera lens, and it looks like the world is emanating from there. You're corporeal, but you're also in reflection somehow. And the buildings---all of which I know---are all mixed together as if you'd blended them rather than captured them. Terrific. And it looks like you're shooting---at least in part---the wall of some building, because the marble/stone textures are all over your torso and the walkway on the bottom. Beautiful radiating reflection shot, with all kinds of double entendre's and visual mysteries, and merging of worlds as only the best reflection work can do. And this angled radiation from the center gives it the sense of a starburst. Wonderful work Bill, even if I CAN'T figure out exactly what's what! Love it.

Something fisheye going on here. I see a massive exercise in extrusion with a sweeping sense of depth coming the viewer's way, via this old photograph, Bill. I figure this was shot, possibly looking into a mall or shop window, with the business area juxtapositioned and mirrored behind you, with lots of noise at the bottom. That said, very well done in totality.

I see a friend taking a really cool photo! :-D I can imagine this as a video with the image warping right out of your lens - this has that kind of SFX feel where the image implodes on itself as it pulls you in and places you in the middle of some adventure. Super cool shot, Bill!

WOW!! this shot is extremely impressive. I think the same way as many others who have commented that it is a both a reflection and the interior view of a building, but I am not certain where some of the pieces fit in (as reflections or not). I am hoping at some point you enlighten us all as to what is what and how you managed to pull this super shot off. :)

Great capture Bill. I agree with Dana!

Very difficult for me to say what is inside as everything that i look at looks to be on the outside Bill. Amazing capture Bill. God bless.

What a great self portrait, Bill! I admit that I am very intrigued about the lines converging on your camera lens!
