Mirror Pix Up
Got the notification yesterday that my Mirror Project submissions were accepted. I think they look even better with the gray background at the site, a subtle framing.

They're still not as good as the toasters, eyeshades, and other found reflections, but for what they are, they're OK.

The first has a kind of Kilroy was Here feel. In the second my eyes go to the rolled cuff, forearm, and hand</a>. The spots on the mirror surface and the Leonardo hands grab my eye in the third one although it was the cropped-off expanse of stucco wall that I liked best when I grabbed it. A zoomed out version would have shown more but the details would have been tiny. It's a tradeoff. In the first two I wanted the inset images to be at least slightly visible.

I did all the editing in Fireworks. The blurb for the last one gave out a variation on the URL for the alternate images, so I had to put in a symbolic link to the real root and gave the index of the gallery of alternates a base href so that the relative links would still work even if you come in via the variant address.
