I thought these three images visually connect with one another in that they all seem to let the viewer look through a mirror. Honestly, I'm not a fan of mirrors but I thought it would be interesting to see myself taking a picture of myself. In the first image, my physical self is noticeable because I am in front of the mirror head-on. In the second image, I am very hard to see because of the reflection of the mirror and window of the car. It's one of my favorite because I'm kind of invisible even though I'm there. And the last image consists of me holding my glasses in front of the mirror. I like the glare I get from the flash and the fact that the view is me looking through a glass. The concept of these three images is being able to see the reflection of yourself through the camera and mirror. Cameras are made for one person, the photographer to take pictures of the outside. Yet, when putting a camera in front of a mirror, you're taking a picture of yourself and perceive it in the way you want it to look.
