082 - Looking Back


082 - Looking Back

How many people judge their happiness by their past and their existence by their present?

A friend of mine was teaching a private student the other week who stated that the present is a punishment from the past, which I suspect is a very common sentiment. The present, for me, has always been something you live in using the past as a memory of another reality. What one does now is not to suffer punishment, but to understand what can be done with the only commodity we change - our future.

This shot was more of an experiment, the use of mirrors or some form of screen to show a different image, related in a way to the use of text in the image to change the meaning of the base image. I have used both screens and mirrors before, but this is the first time I have done it with a car door mirror, I just wasn't sure before what I was going to do with it.
