Waiting to be photographed

Dear Antonio,

I think Steve has put several observations=thoughts together, which has lead to a misunderstanding. With your images sometimes it is difficult to tell - please be aware this is a good thing. I see the man in the mirror, and if you look between his eyebrows, there is white mark - a white thing that is unidentifiable to me as well. Just for curiosity's sake, might you tell us what this is? You saw it in person. We only have a 2 dimension image to review. Ny the way. I like your images - They are so thoughtful (as in terms of making you think.)

My dear friends.
Curious. Sometimes we look and we do not see and sometimes we also see, but not what others do. Confusing.
I always saw this man in a mirror because I have seen him when photographing.
But, having a second look I realize that the possibility of that being a window is perfectly plausible. It only depends the way you see.

It is a mirror yes and the light on his face comes from the right side, from a window.

Some parts of the photograph are burned but the main subject is not. For me, it is a good image.

The little "things" he has on his forehead are small pieces of white grains representing who knows what.

Like this young girl for example. She was inside the school we visited and it never came to my mind to ask what it was. All photos in India.

Sahil said that the white grains on their foreheads are rice. He and his fiance (now wife) had them on their foreheads in these pictures of them:
