I checked out a book about Norman Rockwell on a whim and it was actually very interesting. He used to take photos of his subjects then paint and draw his famous images referencing the photos. I decided to take a stab at being the Girl at my Mirror and it was hard! I had to get into position in time, make sure it was focused, the light was adequate, make sure my expression was right, make sure my hair looked ok... and then run back and do it again!
And finally, my attempt...
I had a hard time deciding which of two of my best shots to post. One was better with the light, my hair and less clutter but I decided to go with the one where my expression better matched the original Girl. I figured that was the point.
And in case I forgot what image I was trying to copy, a picture of me in the mirror, looking at the picture I want to star in. Whew!
