When I decided to put a new picture of myself up on the Mirror Project I decided to write a little text to accompany it. The text is stunningly anodyne:
My daily trip to work involves me getting the number six bus from Elgin Avenue. The bus travels down towards Warwick Avenue and the around towards Edgware Road.
Being on the bus is peaceful and productive – normally it’s the only time when I’m away from computers and keyboards. I tend to take the opportunity – like so many other Londoners – to read a book and listen to some music…
On this morning, the air was clear and fresh and the light was bright. I sat right at the front of the bus, and found myself looking at myself clear as day in the reflection. Behind the glass – a black screen. Behind the screen – the driver… Behind me you can see other people on their way to work… You can see other buses too…
