Mmmmmmm. Reflections again. I've wondered where all the reflection pictures went. They're so artistic.

damn Elenchos, you ruined it for me, oh well. i was "stoked" (to use a Grandyism) about the possibility of such a sculpture to exist. surely it can done, no? the technology is out there for fancy bar graphs; i'll get on it.

Looks like she's tied up and waiting to be whipped. And not, like, in a sexy way. Plus, that dress is a pukey colour.

Something is wrong with that picture. Those buildings are all adjacent to each other, but they don't line up that way.

For instance,that's the courtyard of the Olympic Hotel, but from that angle, those buildings would be out of the frame.

As far as the manequin goes, that's probably from the Jerri Rice store, and walking in that place is a worse fate than being tied up and waiting to be whipped. ;-)

Frederic Leighton-ish pre-raphaelite, can't remember the name.

@3 no, it's an umbrella.

No, not the guy on the right. They guy in the center, whose head lines up with the mannequin's ass, is grabbing his own ass. And therein is the meaning of this piece?

Of course there wouldn't be this confusion about who is doing what or where the buildings are if the cheap photography 101 device of taking a picture of a storefront window reflection were not at work here.
