Hi, Tom,
I don't understand the diptychery here.
Best regards,
Doug

Nor did I, Doug. Nor did I.
Which is why I took the shot.
I was at the end of a corridor where one wall was was mirrored. The section on the left is the 'reality' of my existence, with contemporary abstracts and an exit in cases of emergency. The section on the right is the mirrored 'reality', caught in the old world of painters I love but with only a camera with which to express. And finally a small reminder in the top right that this reflection is only that: a reminder of the place from which I came.
For those who are still confused, this is not a diptych as suggested by Doug. It is a single shot.
It's one of those times when you tell people "you had to be there"
Cheers Doug

Well, I wondered if that might have been the case.
Thanks.

That's my happy face, James. And my serious one, my grumpy one, my angry one and my loving one. Sorry if it displeases you. It's all I have.

Hi Tom
No it doesn't Tom. It requires a lot of concentration and difficult to do.

So it seems, for others. Not for me. One face does all. Which is probably why, when speaking in public, my humor appears as insulting. Combined with a propensity to speak my thoughts, I am responsible for sending small children running, rendering babies scared shitless, receiving abuse from l'il old ladies in shopping malls, being questioned by police just for waving at them, totally confusing teenage louts, relatives cutting me of their dinner list and do-gooders wanting to cheer me up or council me or, worse still, convert me to the latest 'happiness' fad.
What's your daily face usage look like, James?
