Reflejos

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall... Show Me the Colors in it All!

all seasons in one day

I decided my final project for my photography class here in Barcelona would assume the theme of "reflections of Europe," and I suppose you could say that a sub-theme was "colors." I am on the verge of being obsessed with reflections and colors, especially when combined (hence my adoration for bubbles). I don't know why... they just seem magical.
Here are all the photos included in my book, sometimes with a quotation attached. You may have seen some of them before...
