Was actually taking pictures of a mirror I was going to sell. I was in the courtyard, it was wonderful weather, and the dogs were out. They loved lying in front of it, as it reflected the light *JUST* right. I actually added "Dogs not included".

I have a thought about this one. She may have a disorder, such as Parkinson's, that makes it impossible to take a photo without shaking the camera. She is wearing what appears to be a medic alert bracelet. Of course, I could also be analyzing this far too much.

That's just a carpet (know the style, they are nice and soft), but I agree, the colour is uncanny. Do they even make astroturf in such a lovely grass green? I always thought it was the wrong green.

It's not difficult to figure out that if you take the photo at an angle, you won't be in it.
Now I need to practice photos of mirrors before I register my criticism. Maybe it actually _is_ difficult to capture on film/digital? Or maybe a lot of people really are so literal that they don't think of looking at things from another angle?
The amount of half naked men in these pictures is terrifying. Who'd buy a mirror from a creepy dude like that anyway?
What amazes me that people bother to sell these cheap and, apart from a few, ordinary - looking mirrors. I'd just take it to a charity shop. Easier.
We had a brand new mirror once that we replaced (contractor mirror in a new home). We brought it to the local thrift shop wrapped in a blanket to protect it from getting scratched. Fellow there told us they do not accept mirrors? Seriously.
