Coming and Going Photo

Photographer’s Note

Black and White 9.

Hall of Mirrors

A quick moment of recognition that this woman was re-appearing right as she was disappearing left - I perhaps might have waited another millisecond (although I like the fact her foot is about to fall) - I did wait for further passers by but no-one came as the shopping centre was closing - this place in Nottingham has a nice 'indoor street' feel to it. I've walked past it a thousand times and never entered.

You are on a roll, my friend, with these B/W candids. I like the fairground confusions with all the mirrors or glass panes here. Great title. Super capture and timing! Cheers Francis.
ps I'm in mirrors up to my neck today too.

Great idea with this miror game. Composition is nice. It's just a shame that you catch only the foot in the miror.

Great KeV,... it seems the lady is going out of the frame just now.. hahaha.. cool though.. it gives me a feeling of loneliness also here being alone in this frame.. the b?W is really superb.

there is a scene in the ¨"troja" movie when two main persons of the film say "come", "go", "come", "go" and so it goes on for two minutes; useless :-))
i can see that you have been back to b&w for quite sme time; great anjoyable simplicity alwayswork for me, like here;
holiday greetings, j

I wonder how you managed not to appear in on of these mirrors..
Nice daily life catch from a shopping centre,
a difficult photographic theme.
I like how her hand and feet appearing on the right side of the picture,a good detail.
greetings,
hermann

Kev, it would be really a great one if you have waited a milisecond more imho.. would be more surprising image in a way.. this one still does the job though, but ppl. might wonder if she was some one else or not..

Still a great idea, great compo. with mirrors..
take care.

Very clever Kev. Took me a while to understand this play of reflections. Lines on the floor also make a very nice effect. Thanks again for this nice shot.

Hi Kev
A very effective shot - quite confusing, but interesting all the same, to the eye with all the reflections! Well spotted. Great timing.
Regards, Sarah

Hello Kev,

The picture is coming and going but it seems that you are doing the same, were you an vacations ?
Here I like this multitude of mirrors that gives a dreamy effect, I guess this is the only place where she would fit and you caught here right there. Good shot. The foot on the other side creates some funny balance too. Izzet
