“Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.”
–Ernest Holmes

This is the view of my desk I see almost everyday.  I sit down here to jot down crazy ideas and thoughts, create to-do lists, and sometimes (or a lot of the time!) stare at blank sheets of paper.  The man in the mirror is always looking back at me, and for the most part,  just mimicking what I do.  On occasion, he will even have some great ideas or advice to give. 😉

Day 247 of my 365 photo a day project.

This is a two-shot photo comp.  Here is the original shot before adding in my reflection:

By the way, the books you see in this shot are must reads.  Art and Fear by David Bayless & Ted Orland and Steal Like an Artist and Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon.

If you are looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop, this image and most of the others from this project are available as prints and digital downloads.  You can also check out the rest of my portfolio here.

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
