Put Down the Book, Pick Up a Mirror

Today is Tuesday. I am starting to do better after my wisdom teeth thing. I'm still swollen but I'm doing better. Today is Day 2 of Picture week. I hope you are liking it so far!

I took this picture using a mirror and a pillow. I like how if you look closely into the lens you can see the camera reflection. This picture to me is interesting. I'm not the best photographer, because remember I'm a painter! It shows depth to me. You can almost see into the camera, but yet it is just a reflection. You could think of it like a person. One that doesn't let you see inside of them. Those people that are hard to read. An artist in some ways can be like that. Some people show who they are through something, like art or music. So this camera would be doing the same thing. Showing itself by taking a picture of itself and showing you it's reflection. Like if a painter were to do a self-portrait. That's when you really see into someone. When you look into the mirror with them. When you can see what they see, that is when you really know someone. When you can see their reflection, you can see the real person. Because when you see the reflection, you see everything about them; how they view themselves, the world and everything. When you can see the world through their mirror you can finally understand them as a person.

So instead of trying to read someone like a book, pick up a mirror.
