Reflections can be a powerful way of showing a moment’s duality.
They are also a way to look back in time, where you consider past decisions to see how far you’ve come, and strangely, how much you’ve stayed the same.
With our reflections essay, we wanted to convey the multitude of perspectives needed to create any given moment, and how ethereal a reflection can be to rely on a combination of reality and point of view to exist.
Reality will always transcend our limited sight, and it is very interesting to make oneself conscious of what continues to exist around us when we are not looking.
We took the bulk of these pictures during our trip up north through the Green Mountains to Montreal, Canada. During our stay, we were able to see the world a little differently, as we observed different walks of life and how an alternate perspective can have a tremendous effect with just a subtle tweak of view.
