May Shadow Self Submission from Virginia

Munro and I were hiking the local trails a few months ago when I took this shadow picture of us on the trail. I love how my arm has reached out to stop him mid step in order to catch the shot. Also the trails were covered with tree blossoms I guess apple...it's like a fairy trail. I like the idea of following my inner pixie down a trail! Yet we booth seem so Paleolithic! Munro is really as slim as me -- I don't know why his shadow looks so bear-like!

May Mirror Mirror Submission from Jesse

"I was cleaning some dishes when I noticed a pretty good reflection in the spoon I was washing. I didn’t even notice the multiple images until after the shot, and when I did see them, I wanted to try and recreate the shot with a better depth of field and a shaved face. I couldn’t get the camera to auto focus properly with the smaller aperture in remote control. I had adjusted the ISO to a lower setting as well for a clearer picture, so I guess the new combination of settings wasn’t working in my favor that evening. Here’s one of the original shots." -- Jesse

May Mirror Mirror Submission from Chrissy

It's the first of May and I got 'Carloed' last week.....
Since October of last year I have been going to him because I saw how he transformed my friend, Sara's hair...

I won't show u what my hair was like before but I will tell you it was very overlayered...

You ladies will know what I mean..

So for the past 6 months, I've been growing it out and he has helped that process by magically knowing how to cut my hair so it doesn't look like I am growing it out....

also, he has brought me back to my natural color- which is dark brown w/natural red highlights that is all me- no dye included...

I am hoping by June he will tell me he can add those caramel highlights he has talked about in our previous sessions...

He's become my good luck piece...

also found out he's one of L'Oreal's head colorists...

Can't beat that...

I took so many timed shots I was bleary eyed... I chose this one because even tho my head is not completely in the photo, there was something I liked about it.

Maybe the fact that it showed part of my shyness that is still a bit w/the camera

LOL....

(p.s. also I may send this off to my lawyer friend who is dyin' to know what I look like after not seeing him for 5 years...- still thinkin' on that one!.)" -- Chrissy

May Mirror Mirror Challenge

I attended the Spring Petaluma Antiques Market on the 25th of last month. The morning air was cold and brisk, yet by 10:30 the sun was shining so ferociously, people were stripping off their coats and hats. The winning find of the day for me was a small vintage Samsonite lady's suitcase -- in a cool mint green with cream handles and edges. It matches two other pieces of Samsonite I have purchased at other markets -- soon I'll have a complete set!!! On the way back to the car I stopped in an antique and collectibles shop occupying a 3-story Victorian. I moseyed around inside, then turned around and saw this mirror. Very humorous don't you think? And appropriate for this blog!
