of you and of everything that surrounds us...
Hi this is Clementine. Sometimes you spot a beauty...anything, which makes you stop, which makes you forget anything else around you. This little discovery, be it a picture or a scene...or anything, just grabs you, looks into you. When this happens to me, I look around to see who else is going to see this, who else is going to feel the same way. That's how the reflection of what I just discover, reaches you. This is, reflectionof.me...of you and of everything that surrounds us. I hope you enjoy sharing what's reflected on you, like me.
If you want to contact with me my email is: clementine@reflectionof.me

Afghan Girl
She remembers the moment. The photographer took her picture. She remembers her anger. The man was a stranger. She had never been photographed before. Until they met again 17 years later, she had not been photographed since.
Seventeen years ago, a young Afghan girl gained international attention when her face appeared on the cover of the National Geographic magazine.Her eyes were piercing and green, and a red scarf was draped loosely over her hair. The magazine says it has tracked down the subject of that famous photo - with the help of high-tech iris recognition technology.The girl - now a wife and mother living in a remote part of Afghanistan - will once again feature in the magazine, for an issue focusing on the plight of refugees. Sharbat Gula was 13 when the photograph was taken in 1984.An ethnic Pashtun whose parents were killed during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, she was living with the remaining members of her family in Pakistan's Nasir Bagh refugee camp when she was spotted by photographer Steve McCurry. Since then, the picture has been reproduced countless times in books and posters around the world. Sharbat Gula married shortly after the picture was taken, and has since given birth to four daughters, one of whom died as an infant. After meeting her again, Mr McCurry said: "She's had a hard life. And so many here share her story." According to the National Geographic, Sharbat Gula was completely unaware of the effect her picture has had, and had never seen it until the team arrived. To make certain they had the right woman, the researchers used FBI iris-scanning technology and face-recognition techniques to prove her identity.

Unforgettable Portraits by Steve McCurry
Most of us have seen Steve McCurry's National Geographic portrait of the Afghan girl pictured. McCurry has the rare ability to capture extremely powerful images that stay branded in our minds, never to be forgotten.
The Philadelphia-born photographer has covered many areas of international and civil conflict, including the Iran-Iraq war, the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia, Beirut, Cambodia, the Philippines, the Gulf War, and continuing coverage of Afghanistan. He focuses on the human consequences of war, not only showing what war impresses on the landscape, but rather, on the human face. McCurry is driven by an innate curiosity and sense of wonder about the world and everyone in it. He has an uncanny ability to cross boundaries of language and culture to capture stories of human experience. “Most of my images are grounded in people," he says. "I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face. I try to convey what it is like to be that person, a person caught in a broader landscape that you could call the human condition.”

Luis Beltrán
Located in Spain, Luis Beltrán is a 36 years old photographer. His creative fields are digital art, photomanipulation and photo illustration. His works have something with the dream, which makes them very poetic.I'm convinced that Luis Beltrán lives somewhere in my surreal dreams. For it's there that he's conjuring up these hauntingly beautiful scenes filled with stunning imagery. Each photo tells a spellbinding story that leave us with more questions than answers, making us wonder what came before each shot and what will come soon after.

Zipper boat
Japanese artist Yasuhiro Suzuki has built a motorboat shaped like a zipper pull. The boat, the sea and the long wake conspire together to create the effect of a gigantic zipper extending across the water.
