The other day I realized something. There are only three more months in this year. September is almost over and then comes October, November, and lastly, December. The first official day of Fall was only a few days ago. I can't believe how fast this year is flying by!
To be honest though, I'm so glad summer is over and am really looking forward to cooler weather (so I can wear my boots and scarfs!). Summer is my least favorite month because I don't like the hot weather and I just can't help but get excited at the fact that it's over until next year.
I figured it's about time I got around to another post on this blog. I have been meaning to get to the next photography exercise in my book but I just haven't had the time. At the moment I currently have two seasonal jobs so I have been busy with work and as soon as I get home I just want to relax. Today is actually the first day in awhile for me that I have, for the most part, been home the whole day and have been able to get things done that I've been wanting to do.
Anyway, for the second photo exercise I am supposed to take a picture of my reflection. I have taken pictures of my reflection multiple times before so I am just going share with you those instead of waiting until I find the time and inspiration to take pictures.
This picture is from a few years ago. We were at the zoo and this picture was actually my friends idea so I can't take full credit for the creativity. The mirror is part of a carousel that was at the zoo. That's why there's a pole in front of the mirror. The only thing I don't like about this picture is it's really grainy.
I actually stumbled upon this picture the other day. Last year my family went on vacation to the San Juan Islands in Washington and we visited a manor house from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. It was called Rosario Resort. It had a little museum but it was also a resort that people would stay at on their vacation. I saw this weird mirror set up in one of the rooms. I believe the idea behind the strange design of this mirror was so you could see more than one angle of yourself at the same time. I really like this shot because it looks kinda deceptive. Not only did I capture my reflection, I captured the reflection of my reflection as well.
Last Christmas I found the perfect ornament. It was so red and shiny. I opened up my Bible to the Christmas passage in Luke and took a picture so that you could see my reflection in the ornament.
I don't know if this one really counts, but I took a picture of me taking a picture. It's kinda is a picture of my reflection but not really because it's my iPod's camera. I really like this picture a lot because it's not your typical self-portrait picture.
*UPDATE*
I have to add my newest reflection picture! It's my absolute favorite picture to use as profile pictures. I took this picture at a really cute candy story in Monterey Bay.
