This image stood out to me in an earlier shot but I had passed it up for what I thought were some more interesting images. When it came up again however I thought it wouldn't hurt to check it out. The date is actually what got me to choose this image in the end. I'm not that familiar with how photography has progressed over time but this image struck me as being very very modern but it was taken in 1970. It makes me wonder what influenced the work and what the artist was thinking. It appears that there is a garden wall or something to the right but the left seems to be the all of a broken down house. I really enjoy the extra dimension of the mirror centered in the picture and that is what made me think it was more modern at first glance. The reflection of his fingers as well as the wall keeps it grounded and dynamic while the rest of the arm gives the viewer a closer connection to the photograph as if it is their arm.
