Life is architecture and architecture is the mirror of life.
― I. M. Pei
Will archeologists hundreds of years from now wonder why they’ve found so many “selfies” among the digital remains of our era? A camera is a mirror, after all, isn’t it?
The Bean, Millenium Park, Chicago, Illinois. Shot with a Samsung Galaxy S5.
Mirror, mirror, here I stand. Who is the fairest in the land?
― Wilhelm Grimm, Grimm’s Fairy Tales
Mirrors, Of Course. Trump Tower, Chicago. Shot with a Samsung Galaxy S5
No surprise here. The entire surface of the Trump Tower is mirrored.
And now, for a grand finale, were you expecting a selfie? Not a chance.
Have a great week, everyone!

Hi, Amy. I hate selfies. 😦 So glad you agree. It just seems so silly focusing on yourself instead of what’s around you.

Glad I got to know the Bean. Is it really a mirror or stainless steel?
