self portrait à la vivian maier #2

'twas a beautiful day in toronto. the thunderstorm last night gave way to a more decent summer condition. i was looking out at the lake from the boss' office. the sun was bright and shining through the glass windows. i was admiring the beautiful day outside and contemplating goofing off and take a sail on the kajama tallship, but i was wearing a top with very light material and the cardigan i keep in the office wouldn't be enough to keep me warm. then i startled suddenly realizing there was an old woman staring at me and even more surprised to realize i was staring through my reflection in the glass. but then i thought of the vivian maier self portraits so i grabbed my camera and le voilà!

so now i have this idea to go around places where there are shops and stores with display windows.
How funny that you surprised yourself. This is great!

You are courageous in capturing and posting this photo! I like to hear the way your mind works!

Nicely done... I’ve been wracking my brain for how to get in my dogwood photo this week and wondering what others were doing

@northy - whose your artist? need me help?

@summerfield I was thinking I’d do Henri Cartier Bresson - but I’ve completely lost my ability to do Street...

Wonderful srkfie. I think you have Vivian Maier down very well. This is very ghostly.

A beautiful ghostly effect or double exposure. Very well done. Looking forward to seeing more of your creations! FAV

LOL - I just had to google Vivian Maier to understand AmyK's image - and now I get to use that new knowledge again! You have caught her style so well. Cheers Rob Z
