"Could you take a picture of something typical in your life through a

distorted reflected image, like off a window, windshield, or shiny metal

surface? I'd like the subject to be something "everyperson" but that carries

some special (or mundane, I just mean personal) significance for you. Come

to think of it, most of your pictures are like that."  Scott Johaves    

Oddly, Scott made a request of a more formal nature than I had expected.  The idea af dealing with reflections from windows have been a particular issue for photographers due to the nature of the layering of planes in the resultant image.  As a photograph renders 3 dimensional space to a 2 dimensional object, windows  render simultaneously both front and rear illusions, the reflection of the back, the widow surface itself, and what is behind the window.

 I remember spending much time in considering these issues after buying a book of Lee Freidlanders, called I think "Self Portraits".

Also spend a lot of time looking in and on windows. 1/2 voyeurism.
