my bathroom altar

Today I photographed my bathroom altar for my self portraits/daily life gallery (CLICK HERE to see it). I've taken a good number of shots of this altar over the years, but never before from this perspective. I was surprised and delighted to see the lights reflected in an oval around the sink. To me it looked like a swimming pool at night. This altar has been thirty years in the making. It will never be "done" because, until my last breath, my life will not be done. How I love going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. It's like entering a magic forest, a forest filled with the magic of my life.

Patricia,
What a mysterious image. Perfect for the book project. In fact, this concept could be a project in itself, especially with the accompanied text. :)
