Mystic Man, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

This man was performing all sorts of tricks with this Crystal ball; Rolling it round the back of his neck and down his arms and over his hands etc. I caught it just as it was infront of his face, and noticed the upside down image of his face on the ball, you can see more of his face by looking at the ball than you can in the picture itself because his hands are blocking it.

Hello Luke,
I am one of your father's TE friends, and I am delighted see that he has infected you with the Trekearth virus. This is an excellent shot, recorded in that fleeting instant, when the crystal ball is directly in front of the man's face. The refraction in the glass, with the man's inverted image, is genuinely compelling. Your photo works well in black and white, evocative of the best of Ilford b/w. It is so sharp tha the dredlocks on the man are even sharp.

Warm regards and best wishes to your dad,
Bulent
