THE BEAN, I SAW THE BEAN!

I was in Chicago today and saw the big bean in the park. it is sooo great. simple but effective. i will have pictures tomorrow when i download them on my computer. but the bean is reflective and i forgot how much i love reflective objects. i want to do a whole series of photographs that involve taking pictures through reflections. it's like going through another medium to get an image. almost fake, but it makes me think philosophy of time travel thing. or something along the lines of the decisions you don't make are a whole different world. i read about this somewhere, i'm not just making things up, i don't do that. but reflections make me think of that because it's like a whole different world because what you see is not exactly like you would see it if you were looking at it in the flesh. it's hard for me to put into words what i'm trying to say so i kind of sound like i have no idea whats going on, but the thoughts are there just not communicated very well. that's why i would love to do a photo series on this. because to try and visually communicate that seeing through reflections is like seeing into another world. becasue you see things and you think they are reality but really you are just seeing what is shown in the reflections. yeah. i'll have to keep forming this out there thought into something constructive, and the only way to do that is to take pictures, i'll add it to my list of things to do.
