This week’s challenge is all about reflections.
As a photographer, I’m eternally in search of “the shot.” In my car, every roadside patch of wildflowers is a setting for a charming portrait of one of my children. Every family outing is an opportunity for a bit of documentary photography. I rarely look at other people without imagining how I could creatively capture their image with my camera.
Tip: you may need to experiment with your angle to get a good reflection image, but try to keep your horizon straight if you’re shooting a landscape image.
I love the quirkiness of one of our local coffee shops, operating out of an Airstream (and the brew there is top-notch!). As I was waiting at the drive-through window for yesterday morning’s caffeine infusion, I glanced up to find the most remarkable sky, framed partially in the open window of the Airstream, and reflected in the mirror-like surface.

Mirror, by Jen Hooks, a morning sky reflected in an Airstream-turned-coffee-shop.
This week, show us a mirror. You can take this photo challenge literally, and find reflections in mirrors, or in the stillness of a natural body of water. Live in an urban area? Some skyscrapers are beautifully reflective of the cityscape around them. Or, use this challenge to take a photo of yourself in the mirror. Self-documentation is important, especially for those of us who are usually behind the lens. Enjoy!
This will be fun, Jen, just like your photo.

Great shot. Also, thank you for introducing me to the Airstream. I was not familiar with those trailers.
My favourite shot of this kind is on the inside cover of the Neil Young album, Harvest.
