Creepy!
terrible hanging job,lol
If I had to live there, I probobly wouldn't want to see myself either.
I have to agree with Nock, the guy that hung that mirror did a piss poor job :)~
Nick even!
Ah, Count Dracula's room I believe.
Funny Jude!! But it was me....I went and looked into the mirror...sorry!
Hope the legendary "7 years of bad luck" thing isn't still in effect.....Knock on wood, Motts....;-).
Another great study in contrasting lines and form...and the title is perfect.
Interesting. When I was staying briefly in a mental hospital we didn't have glass mirrors. Everything was made of polished steel so we could not cut ourselves or the other patients, staff etc. I guess that wasn't much of a concern at this particular facility. That having been said I do like the shot. I like the way a single item in a room can convey so much emotion and a sense of sadness.
I also wonder about the 7 yrs bad luck thing.....I don't think I would like to have been the person that broke that mirror....not a good thing to do period......I agree bad job on hanging the mirror....where is my soap dispenser by the way.......MIA again I see......
I have a feeling those seven years came and went a long while back...
seven years of bad luck,,

more bad luck,,,,
I would totally love to do my makeup in that mirror lol
Old myths say that you can see the dead in mirrors, spirits and ghosts, etc. Perhaps its fitting that it's broken.
thats crazy that theres no reflection. i love the shot though.
The moment i looked at this shot i imeadiately thought of snow white - weird! I really like this one.
mirror, mirror, on the wall, not the fairest after all
What remains doesn't even LOOK like glass now!
its not the mirror the walls bend
