Markets: Market Reflections

Market Reflections: One aspect of photographing some markets is the reflection and layering of the image that occurs when taking the photo through a market/store window. I love these photos because there is always an element of surprise in terms of what I will capture in the final image. There are always at least three 'layers' - the actual goods seen through the window glass, the reflection of myself (there is definitely a 'self portrait' experiment going on here) taking the photo, and the background, which includes people and cars moving, the buildings in the opposite side of the street, etc. Occasionally the juxtaposition of images is truly beautiful and mysterious, but at the time it's just whimsical and eye-catching!
