Moonmirror

Through a glass window. DP3Q.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, I like it

 

[John Allen]

Well, I like it

I thought I'd already commented on this one. I know I looked at it and liked it. It's very good.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, John! It's quiet around here these days.

It taught me something that I was unsure of and that is whether the moon is considered feminine in all part of the world. Apparently not, in locations such as the I rarely use a mirror, just on those occasions where it would be fairly embarrassing to have something odd or misplaced hanging from ones face. I think this would be a very strange mirror to look into although a handy size.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Now, that's an interesting comment. I always thought the mirror was just reflective glass, but I am aware of the poetic interpretations in literature, art, and its role in some creation myths. And let's not forget the wicked queen in Snow White. Sometimes I think we project ourselves more onto it, than it reflecting us.

Ah interesting Rob never thought it as a projection. Maybe that is what I lack, the ability to project and therefore do not greatly enjoy the experience. Although I may go to the barber in a moment and can have an attempt as the opportunity is unavoidable.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, I hate barbers, especially after a couple of scary experiences when I was a kid. One guy had a side line repairing umbrellas, for which he used a blow torch. He enjoyed himself by terrorising kids, pretending he was going to burn their hair off. Another time, my alcoholic father took the haircut money my mum had given me, and told me to wait until the barber had cut my hair, then run! He went to the pub. Incredibly, I did it! To this day, I absolutely fear barbers more than dentists, and don't get me started on dentists!

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Well I am back all spic and span, short back and sides. My barber is of the feminine persuasion and the daughter of my original barber, good conversation along with an artists workmanship.
Yes i know to well those adults who think it is funny to terrorise kids. I vaguely remember, as if a few minutes ago a full ground fairman telling us as a group of primary aged kids that if we stuck sticks in his slot machines and with great enactment with his hands and neck, described how he's slit our throats with a rusty old razor blade. Guess what I dislike fair grounds. Curiously I enjoy the dentist and only have an injection if a tooth needs to be pulled. I see it as a challenge not too freak out.
I take note of your story and father Rob I do hope you had good moments as well.
I know I learnt from mine from a very early age that I did not wish to be like him, now whether I have managed in every aspect is possibly unrealistic, but worked hard at it.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I don't suppose we'll get a selfie from you, Julian?

I can't remember any good moments, sad to say. But he's long gone, when I was still a teenager, and my poor suffering mother a year later. Such is life. Like you, I've spent way too much energy in trying to not be like him. I think I've managed. Now I feel sorry for him. It's a sickness.

Anyway, let's cheer up! All this from a photo of a moon mirror!

 

[Brian Moore]

Well, I like it

I like it too! The reflection off the glass is somewhat mesmerizing. Or is that something I'm projecting onto the glass? (Your mirror comment was right on, Rob.)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Brian. I knew a genius like you would understand

Selfie! whats that It is always curios though how we expect ourselves to be in a visual form, sadly cameras lie

 

[Pete Askew]

What an interesting thread - the power of an image. Now, having just viewed another of your images, Rob, I see a shed reflected in that mirror. Not a projection, maybe a prediction!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Keen-eyed, as ever, Mr Askew. The mirror was inside one of the sheds. Well, I hope that sheds some light on the matter?

 

[Pete Askew]

No so keen at the moment sadly as the Toxoplasma lesion has reactivated. However, the other shots did inspire me to go and take some pictures in the shed!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, dear. I was wondering how your eyes were these days. Good luck!

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, Rob. Mostly fine but it does occasionally reactivate and this time it came on fast and quite severe. The drops can be unpleasant over time but I have a regime that works. But this time I am taking some more system tablets and they make me feel like shit! Hopefully I can stop tomorrow though.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Eee. As I said, good luck!

I am absolutely too dumb to take part here. Funny image though.
