Highlights...Find the Hidden Images

Posted by Ron (Saint Louis, United States) on 14 February 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

I snapped this shot in a coffee shop Saturday morning – I liked the way the light was filtering in the window. The shot is actually taken from one little alcove, through the window, across the entry way, and through the window on the other side of the entry. When I looked at the shot later that afternoon, it reminded me of the Highlights For Kids magazines that I used to love to read at the dentist's office – remember "find the hidden pictures." If you look closely, you can see all sorts of hidden images in the reflections: the camera (and photographer – that would be me) that took the picture; a camera strap (look for digital); an outdoor trash bin; an outdoor table and chair; the photo on the wall behind the photographer (me again); the brass door handle to enter the shop; and an outdoor patron's crossed leg.
