Distortion - 1933
Photo source
I have always been fascinated with how images can be distorted or altered using simple objects such as mirrors. I was initially attracted to this photograph because the woman in this photograph is being distorted in the mirror to add a different feel to the photograph altogether. The composition of this picture is amazing, and the in way in which the camera is placed makes the woman's reflection look not human, even in the least bit.

When I saw this photograph, and the series title, I immediately made the connection and felt that the title of the series added a lot of depth to this photograph. The composition is spectacular, and the range of tone is incredible. I also really like the fact that the "doctor" is in mid-step, and in a somewhat awkward position. The fact that it looks like it's going to storm by the way the clouds look in the background adds a lot of questions to where this picture was actually taken, what time of year, and what exactly was going on with this weather pattern.

I was instantly drawn to this photograph because of the final project I did for Photo 1. The fact that he took the photograph inside of the car which I have done many times before made me much more intrigued to look deeper into this picture. The use of decisive moment is incredible. The fact that he caught an animal running across the road in this picture is amazing, and adds a lot more to this photograph as a whole. I also really enjoy the fact that the windshield is a bit dirty to add texture.
