The calm waters of the Arno provide wonderful reflections, the slight undulations of the water’s surface lending a painterly quality to images of the reflected buildings. I isolate small sections of reflection, taking care to exclude any non-reflected surface, and then in printing invert them vertically and horizontally. This produces a scene recognizable to anyone who is familiar with the city and similar to what one would see standing at street level looking at the bridge. Those who are familiar with the Ponte Vecchio seen from the west in the arcade on the right bank near the Uffizi, may find this image unsettling. I did until I realized that I was viewing the scene from an impossible vantage point part way down the wall that drops vertically from street level to the water’s edge. To get this shot, the camera was tripod mounted almost a foot above my head (I used a right angle finder to focus). This put the camera looking downward at something close to a 70 degree angle to a mirror surface that is reflecting back toward me at a similarly steep angle. (As a reference, the railing on the bridge at the far left is just slightly above my own on the on the Lungarno degli Archibusieri.)
