Vintage Mesdames In The Mirror



 A blog inspired by brilliant quote of a novelist Frank Herbert: “What does a mirror look at?”  and stunning photographs made from the mirror reflection. Even though, I do agree that the mirror is the worst judge of true beauty I still cant imagine a day without it. Also, there are so many ''self-portrait'' photographs on different social networks, websites these days, that made me think that this is the ''ugliest'' way to take a photo of yourself, but..when I met few people that can actually do it proper way I changed my opinion (btw, I am not one of them, and as they are mostly guys, unfortunately they would not ''fit'' in this post :)). As always, I''ll start with 20's, 30's, 40's 50's 60's ''Mesdames in the Mirror'' followed by the few photographs of my own. They are all about a different place, style, mood. And here we go...
