Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Mirrors are liars. A left handed person becomes right handed and vice versa when looking into a mirror, the written word turns backwards, and your whole appearance is the wrong way around, not really you at all. But we are stuck with it until someone comes up with a “Looking Glass’ that will show a person as they really are.
I wonder if you had two mirrors and you held up a piece of writing into the first one, then reflected that image onto the second one would the writing be the right way up again? must try that.
“A mirror image is how you perceive yourself not how others perceive yourself. ... Mirrors will make you look thin from your perception but from a Camera which is more accurate you will look much fuller in the face your facial features will look different and your body size will be much larger than your mirror image” Wiki.
So there you have it, a photograph will be nearer the mark to what you really look like, next time I’m having a shave I’ll take a snap of my mug and shave the photograph for a much closer shave, eliminates the chances of cutting the skin too.
