Taking a Picture of My Daughter's Portrait




Taking a Picture of My Daughter's Portrait   (Originally uploaded by randubnick)

Last night, I posted the pastel portrait of my daughter that I drew when she was a baby.  I photographed the portrait yesterday, while I was helping my daughter hang paintings in her new place.  While I was photographing, I was concentrating on avoiding reflected light in the glass.  I didn't notice that I was also photographing myself in the mirror next to the painting!  This photo was an unintentional self-portrait.  I liked the idea of this double image, and the way it plays with layers of time.  So I cropped it a bit to get the composition I wanted, and here it is.
