the distortion of anger by helenhall

the distortion of anger

The pretty refraction photos were taken from the other side of the glass, water-filled, bowl but for this shot, I conjured up my angriest face and stared right through the glass. Is this what the goldfish see when we peer in to look at them?


I had other plans for my Self Portrait week but right now, I'm feeling rather grumpy about the lack of time I will get over the next few days to put my plans into fruition.

So, here is refraction and anger in one.
Clever response Helen, I can see you! and I hear you about the lack of time.....Hope your plans all go to plan anyway and that you get some time for yourself too.

Fascinating shot, I never thought about what the poor goldfish see! I can see you, or your glasses in at least 3 places.

An amazing distorted selfie image, Helen! Hope your Friday is rolling along beautifully and allowing you some time for your photography plans.

interesting question about the fishies

I see your glasses, but having a hard time with facial feature. Great idea!

@stephanies @suzanne234 @adi314 @flowerfairyann @gaylewood @francoise @moonmtn @carolmw @ivan thank you all for stopping by to comment. this was a bit of a mess I realise, so kind of you to think of something to say! For the record, it is my belief that the top left of the photo shows my grey hair, the mid left is my right eye (magnified by my powerful glasses lens in that eye) and the bottom left you see a row of teeth. The glass bowl I have has swirls of distorted glass in it, so I'm not surprised you were struggling to make things out!

I don't see the face, but the abstract is great. And just what did those goldfish do to elicit such anger???

@redandwhite Catherine, there were not any goldfish in the bowl - I was just speculating. The anger is prompted by me not having time to carry out my original plans for an anger photograph! The face is distorted in the extreme - but it is there!

You ended up with a great abstract image anyway :)

I like this abstract. I does express emotion somehow
