Through the Looking Glass

 

New York: 57th Street and 5th Avenue (Bergdorf Goodman)

Inspiration: I was heading to Central Park on this cold sunny day when I got sidetracked: (a) holiday sales; (b) Bergdorf's fantastic shoe department; and (c) its beautiful windows.  In my humble opinion, Bergdorf Goodman displays the best holiday windows. More window photos later.

Thanks B! Cannot wait for your trip to Japan!!

GORGEOUS. I love these both so much— they remind me a bit of Helmut Newton's mannequin portraits, because, for a second, they read as real people. The way the blurry reflection obscures the mannequins' faces in both shots is just perfect. I would hang these side-by-side on my wall in a second.

Really enjoyed your photos of Morocco, too!

I love these! You know I love window shots. But what's great about these, which I used to be able to do with my Pentax but can't quite achieve yet with my digital Canon, is how you master what you're choosing to focus on, and the rest is soft. It makes is so magical!

Love that line 'pls. my name isn't christie'. I kinda like that I don't know your name. It's like with '-h'. It's so.. mysterious.

[jill]

p.s. are these your boots?
