black and white photo of apartment buildings reflected in a fisheye mirror

This card by Emma Passmore is one of the winners of our second contest. She added her own words to an image by Mikey G Ottawa (compare Nathan Horowitz’s treatment of the same image in “fisheye“), and told us, “I really did have a dream about lives going round in circles. When I looked at the image of the housing block through the circular lens it brought it back to me.”
