8: Hot or Not

8: Bathroom Eye

Today's target was not to be Hot, but to be Not. and this was harder to plan than expected because we do put in a lot of effort to conform to societies norms, which makes being convincingly outside those norms quite difficult. I chose this cafe toilet in a basement of one of the market square buildings in Zamosc, originally owned by Armenian merchants. Here I am, facing the mirror, with the camera balanced on the toilet seat.

Somehow, although being out and about for most of the day, I still ended up with an interior shot, perhaps I am not yet ready to explore the outside world. Perhaps inspiration is best when fitted to the environment you operate in rather than when we put ourselves in a foreign one. Our subconscious evaluates mostly our current environment, perhaps learning how to get more from our current environment is better than dreaming of 'writing that novel once I live X life'.
