Illusions

Friday, January 7, 2010

This was a very cool archway I happened to grab a few pictures of. This

reminds me of the drama that I participate in. I enjoy being an actor and I

absolutely love the backstage of the theatre. There's a place downstairs that

has big "movie-star" mirrors on either side of an aisle. They have the big bulbs

and if you stand in front of one, it seems to continue forever, thus creating a

really cool optical illusion.

50 Word Story: (Actually an excerpt from a vignette I wrote about the theatre.)

Bittersweet Reflections (Excerpt)

In the makeup "aisle," as it's best described, the mirror is clean and polished,

not a single fingerprint obscuring the clarity and sharpness of it. When the

lights are on, looking through the mirror is like falling into a skewed, silver

wonderland where everything around is reflected. The optical illusion never

stops.
