I learned about this phenomenon from Jay Maisel. Look at this photo, which way does the foot print go? In or out?
How about this foot print? Is it in or out?
Actually they are the same photo, just flipped. Your eye expects patterns a certain way and flipping the photo can change the topography.
The above photo of me is how most everyone sees me. I really never felt like it looks like me.
This is the photo as I see myself. What is the difference, it is just flipped or the mirror image that I see each morning in the mirror.
I suggest taking a digital photo of yourself and flip it and see if it feels more like yourself.
I showed this to a few of the students I was teaching lighting to in Kona, Hawaii and they all were amazed.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
