Daily Photo: Vintage or Not
A vintage photo of Bella? But she’s not even a year old!
I’m not sure if I can promise this will be the last of these multiple posts with slideshows. The beauty of the sunlight, amplified by snow cover, simply overtook me and I couldn’t stop taking photos. Sometimes I caught some interesting effects.
These photos have a vintage feel, but obviously are not. The mirror I have on my bathroom door is vintage, well, it’s really just old. At one point it had been glued to either a frame or a wall, and the backing itself is in somewhat poor shape. I just wanted a mirror there to have a nearly full-length in the bathroom when I got dressed, and to make the room look larger, and I’ve never changed it. The door is a bi-fold, so depending on how the door folds it reflects different areas and different windows.
In this case, it’s folded far enough that I saw Bella’s reflection from outside the bathroom on top of the wardrobe, and all those nicks and dings and mis-reflections give the photos of Bella the feel and dulled color of a vintage photo. These are taken with my smartphone which I held against the mirror at an angle so that it would not be reflected but I would still be able to focus on Bella’s image. I intentionally caught the flaws in the mirror, which is also kind of cool, a little ghostly, and I moved the it up and down to capture different flawed areas for different effects.
I didn’t edit any of them at all. I liked these three of her, and of course, here is the slideshow of the others.

Some photography courses and websites suggest you take pictures of things within 50 feet or so.
It forces you to be creative and really look at your surroundings.
You prove that this is not only possible, but creative and fun.
It’s neat to look at things from a different view and not strive for the “perfect” shot.
Your blog is purrfectly named 🙂

Bella has a dragon watching over her in #1! Very cool!!
