This weeks project was reflection, I was pretty excited for this one. I had taken a reflection self portrait a few years ago while on vacation in Spain. I really liked the way it came out and wanted to recreate it. I jumped on my bike and headed to Mill Ave.
While on my bike I decided I wanted Wally in the photo too (my bike). Wally is a bike I bought on Craigslist for $65. and I love it! The guy I bought it from was named Wally and he would sign his text messages, W@l!y. It seemed like a good name for my bike. I call it my big boy bike, it's a man's bike and a little too big for me. I'd like to get a three wheeler so I can ride with Presley (I'm afraid to fall with her now). So for now it's just me a Wally!
Downtown Tempe is the most bike friendly place in the Valley. This time of year I spend as much time riding in the neighborhood as possible. I run into many more people then if I were driving and really enjoy my neighborhood by bike. Presley loves to be on the bikes and it's usually a calming way to end the day...
OK so back to the photos! I had a lot of fun riding around looking for reflections. I had hoped to get a reflection of the clouds on a building, but clear blue skies prevented that... I liked the photo of the lake, the water was very calm on that side so the reflection was very nice... I still like my Spain portrait the best, but hey it's Spain!
