Description
More window shopping in Chicago.
You might get the idea from these windows I've been posting that I like to shop. (My brother is going to think that's the funniest thing he's ever heard.) Actually, I like light and glass and reflections, and have absolutely no interest in the merchandise. When I see marketing like this I sort of tip my head ... you know how you do when you see an alien life form or something ... and I think to myself, "Huh."
I looked them up on line, and it turns out they have shoes I would have worn when I was 25 and been quite happy with at the time, but that was half a lifetime ago, and my interest level in three-inch heels has dropped to something pretty close to zero.
I liked this one because the image looks like something better suited to the 2-D gallery. If you were going to do this in layers, I think you would need about ten or twelve photographs, a higher degree of skill than I possess, and a lot of time in Photoshop! With the camera, though ... one click, and there you go!

This is so cool with the reflection from across the street, smattering the image inside the glass. Awesome capture. Dana

Looks like you also made an inadvertent social statement. Sexy (?) figures with no heads just perfect bodies.

This is very cool, but I am baffled by the larger reflection. I think I want to go back to counting textures! :o) Love all the busy activity, light and color! Excellent capture! I spend as much time as possible barefoot. When I was twentiesh, and a bridesmaid at my sister's wedding, I bought beautiful 3" heels. I pranced around frivolously during the rehearsal. The next morning, I awoke, stretched, stool up, and collapsed back onto the bed, feet screaming in protest. It was a long wedding. Those were my last 3" heels.

Before reading what you had written and the comments, I was already thinking how complex this image is - thought the photo was of a headless dummy - I then saw her smile! Many layers indeed to create this reflection! Cheers, Clive

What an eye! You've got a lady with two golden arms...made me think of the 1955 movie, "Man With A Golden Arm"...Strung-out junkie deals with daily demoralizing drug addiction while crippled wife and card sharks continue to pull him down. This rather complex reply matches the many layers of the picture, don't you agree? :-)))

Interesting....

Such a complex image! I have to confess that, although I live either barefoot, flipflopped or in walking/gardening boots, I still have a large collection of up to 5" heels which I cannot yet bring myself to part with! (head bowed in shame) In fact I did wear 3" heels to the wedding party in the evening, an extremely rare occurence now. I suppose I could plant something in them, but they are nearly all peep-toe!

First off. Victor needs to see this! I'm sending a link to him, because he does fashion photography and a bit of stuff like the model vaguely seen behind all of the reflections in the window. Plus, good photography is a good excuse to fire off an email to Victor...to which he might respond with a comment that I have to run to the dictionary to translate. (his new habit is to write EVERYTHING in Cyrillic, and to use idiomatic language on top of it...he's a hard language teacher!) As for the picture itself. I've never been a fan of Bebe, but this window is so perfectly captured. High fashion and me don't get along. At all. But I suspect I'd love high fashion if people paid as much for MY stuff as they do for shoes and underwear that no one even sees unless the wearer is being naughty. The reflected trees are amazing, and the texture of the light in the glass and on the "fem-bot" mannequin legs is amazingly sci-fi-ish. I love this image.

nice shot

Really busy, the more you look the more you see. I really like it!

Well seen, there is quite a lot to absorb, but I think I like the reflections best!

Oeee - I love this Tara! The layers are fantastic and everytime I go back I see something different! Well done Dierbaar! :)

very cool picture!!!!

Those shoes were not even on my radar when I was young. I went from saddle shoes in high school to flip flops when I married and every once in a while I just go barefoot but shoes are to me like ties are to men...a torture device. :-) But I do love this window. It has what is needed to do it's job - lots of interest.

You have achieved a great abstract in one click. Excellent work.

dreamy ...expensive!!

For the first time in a very long time, I've bought HEELS---not the 5" killers, but something a bit shorter, that I can actually walk in. Well, sort of. I have a couple of shots of these windows as well. I think you have to PAY just to get into those stores. What I'm trying to say, not very successfully, is that high fashion makes for GREAT fotos; and this one is just that!!
