Dissertating (a verb, meaning ‘the action of working on one’s dissertation’) is a lonely process that seems to have no end. Lately, though, I’ve found some new inspiration through the internet, specifically through blogs that have served as connecting points to fun ideas, talented writing, and exciting people.
So when I read about Alejna’s newest find, Photohunt, and saw that this week’s theme was “reflections,” I immediately thought of these photographs, taken at the giraffe exhibit at Audubon Zoo in April 2007:
When I saw how easy it was to participate, I was in. I’m officially giving PhotoHunt the old college try.
These photos were taken with a Canon Digital Rebel 300D (the first of the series)with a 50mm 1.8f lens (the one I used exclusively, no matter what the situation, at that time), with an ISO of 100 and shutter speed 1/400. I remember that this effect was short-lived, when the sun came back out from behind the clouds, the reflection was no longer as strong. I also remember that I wished I was able to get further to the left of Will to have more of his face in the frame and ended up taking these with my whole body smashed up against the glass. Luckily, we happened to be alone in this exhibit at the time.

Oh – lovely golden-haired boy! I wonder if he’s aware of his reflection 🙂
