Artist's Comments

yes, I shot myself (with clothes on !) while shooting "Coeur Defense" tower through the mirrored ceiling aperture of a parking facility at La Défense, Paris

You can see what it looks like from (high) above with the satelitte shot from google maps : [link]

Don't know in which category to put that in : exterior architecture, interior (I was inside something though shooting outside), street, self portrait, fetish ?

Oh, and last word, +cweeks explained in his journal that you're not a true photographer if you process your files from RAW, it means you're not able to use your camera because at the good ole time of film you weren't supposed to "manipulate" the photo. I do not agree with him, I think he misleads photgraphy and craft, I think he talks about photojournalism (which must not be manipulated). However, I think only the result matters because otherwise you would have to condemn all technical help provided by the cameras : lenses, slr, autofocus..and stick to pinhole photography.
All that to say that he explained you have to be honnest about what kind of things you do to your photo (just to show the extent of manipulation and whether you're a good or a bad photographer).

So this photo was processed from a Raw file (check the exif) desaturating (not true BW) and contrasts enhanced, sharpening, levels and slight cropping (cropping, oh my god, he cropped, you vile cropper !). Sorry ! I've sinned.

That's totally weird and Escher-esque. Love it :D

J'aime beaucoup ! Par contre, je trouve que le ciel et les tours n'ont rien à faire là... j'aurais croppé encore plus pour aboutir à un format panoramique...

I really did not Escher before taking [link] ... I must admit that I share with Escher a taste for the lines and a kind of surrealism. Thanks for the kind words.
Merci ! J'ai bein pensé à une telle solution mais j'ai souhaité rester le plus cohérent possible avec le sujet central : les mirroirs. La tour et le ciel sont aussi un reflet dans le miroir, il n'y a que le petit triangle supérieur droit qui n'est pas un reflet. En outre, en coupant plus en "16/9", j'étais coincé entre le petit panneau d'information (en bas) qui aurait été trop mis en évidence et le moche lampadaire en haut que j'aurais bien aimé décrocher. le problème des mirroris multiples, c'est que quelque soit l'angle, on retrouve forcément plus ou moins ces objets.
Je n'avais pas remarqué que c'était un reflet !!! Vu comme ça, c'est super. ;)
