A day or two after I got it, I was sitting in bed enjoying the reflections of two candles in various items on our dresser and decided to experiment with the new lens. Although the auto-focus was tricky, I do like some of the results.
When he looked at them, my husband remarked that I've been taking a lot of pictures of reflections lately. I agreed without really thinking about why. The answer is that reflections remind me of the magical doorways-into-other-worlds that characterized my favorite books as a child. I spent a lot of nights imagining myself finding such a doorway and leaving my everyday world forever. That thought still has the power to move me deeply, and is at the heart of several other ideas I have. We'll see how they work out. . .
like the reflection as doorway idea. very compelling. oh, and the lens seems to be working! what kind of camera?
