PAD 225 - Looking Out

[Mike Farley]

Day 225 and a change of plan. I had originally planned to see Sebastião Salgado's Genesis exhibition at the Natural History Museum, until I saw the length of the queue just to get into the museum. So I went to the Photographers' Gallery instead. As with my previous visit to the gallery, I have tried to get a different style of shot and found this trompe l'oeil.

For those not familiar with the layout of the Photographers' Gallery, this image which is as shot will require some explanation. The window on the staircase is not in an external wall and instead looks onto the floor below where the man with the backpack is standing. His reflection can be seen in a second window beyond which really is in the outside wall.

Thanks for the explanation as that baffled me for a moment there. Like a disembodied person, half stuck between floors Good spot and also a good reminder to visit there myself.
