Floor Mirror Photo Fun
🕑 Added 2020-04-16 14:00:03 +0000 UTCI acquired a floor mirror during my recent move and decided to take some photos with it over a period of a week. I'm sitting on a bench at the foot of my bed which is, by chance, positioned for some interesting mirror photos. The pictures coincided with whatever I happened to be wearing at the time (including nothing at all).
I ordered the floor mirror online; it is a lot shorter than I had envisioned (I knew the dimensions but had somehow convinced myself that five feet would be taller). I could hang this one on the wall if I wanted to! I think a floor mirror should be obscenely huge and at least as tall as myself to be considered "floor" worthy. There should be no humanly possible way of hanging it on the wall short of scaffolding, without it pulling down the wall and collapsing the house if you dared try to secure it with drywall screw bolts.
It's odd to me how I can look enormous when I look at the mirror, but when I take a picture of myself looking in the mirror from the same eyesight angle, I look significantly smaller in the resulting photo. I need to figure out some way to show scale - I know I look a lot bigger in person (to actual people meeting me). They say the camera adds ten pounds, but in my case I think it subtracts a hundred - if only I could market that somehow!
(Incidentally, I hadn't had the mirror long enough to get it dirty when I took these photos, so those are factory-provided splatters on it. I wonder what they are?)
