June Mirror Mirror Submission from Jesse

Back in April 2007, as I was out for a drive with Virginia and Munro, I noticed an eerie little cloud of smoke or fog on Mt. Tam. I tried to get a good capture of the Ghost Fog while we still had a view of it, or before it disappeared. I was so mesmerized by this lucky sighting, that I failed to noticed that I captured an excellent reflection of both myself and Virginia. -- Jesse

June Mirror Mirror Submission from Ralph

This is a parabolic mirror at the Louisville Science Center in Louisville, KY. It contains many hundreds of mirrored tiles, and it is set up at the Center's entrance. It's fun to watch people explore their reflections as they walk by it. I like the way it fragments the reflection. When I look at myself in this mirror, is this how I feel about myself? Fragmented and scattered? Somedays, most assuredly. Other days, I'm just on the lookout for a strong image. -- Ralph Homan

June Challenge Submission from Sheryl

"I was really inspired by your Mirror, mirror challenge and got a little creative with it, using two mirrors to see what kind of effect I would get. It is interesting to me how I look almost like i could be two different people depending on the angle in which you see a person. Thank you." -- Sheryl

Extra Wid Card Photo for June

I was looking at my bookshelves and thinking that I must straighten and redecorate them, and good-humoredly noticed the collection of various horse images and knicknacks. Not surprising because I owned horses and trained and rode them for over 40 years. And of course played with them as a little girl.

One of my friends jokingly said one evening over dinner, "Virginia, do you realize you have over 130 horse images in your home?" And he was right, he even missed some! So who is that horseless (for over 4 years) horse girl? I grabbed a few of my horse chotchkes and my camera and went over to the living room mirror. I got down on the floor and arranged them and took this picture. I can see the little girl in me, that's for sure. The one that when she rode or daydreamed about riding also felt a sense of freedom and power. And of course Angie, who was buddies with my last great horse, Magic, had to be in the picture, too.

June Wild Card Submission: Chrissy

"Yesterday, I was fooling around and I love the mirror in the bathroom downstairs... The lighting is a bit harsh due to the type of light fixture... Also the walls are not that puddy grey, its actually olive green!... See what the camera does? I've even put it in the auto-edit program and it didn't do a bit of good. But I liked how the edge of the mirror which has a slight bevel caused a double effect... " -- Chrissy

Mirir, Mirror June Challenge: Chrissy

"Well, I was able to take this after 4 rejected tries!. And yes this is my yard, my never ending hobby.... I am working on making it a sanctuary not only for me but for the finches and robins that now look forward to seeing me put out their feed.... Well Virginia, what do u think? a few years older than the photo on my page, huh?
I am glad u started this challenge and hopefully, I will be less critical of myself in photos..LOL.." -- Chrissy

June Challenge Judie F.'s Submission



"While thinking about my self portrait for June, I also thought about how I wouldn't be who I am without the experiences I've had in the past. I began delving into the family photos I've scanned into the computer. Back into the deep recesses of my early days. From there a collage was born. This therefore is the first product of this adventure of where the journey began."
