What an odd sensation it was to be reading the newspaper over my lunch break today and come across my very own name in print, without even expecting it! In today’s Star Tribune Web search column, “Fun with photos,” columnist Randy Salas rounds up several photo-taking fun Web sites, among them, The Mirror Project:
The Mirror Project … asks contributors to submit photos of themselves as captured in reflective surfaces. The results can be winsome (Rollins Goetzel’s self-portrait in shiny sunglasses worn by his dog, Ojo), clever (Lynsey Barnett’s full-length reflection in a body-shaped mirror at the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul) and breathtaking (Rebecca’s silhouette in a puddle reflecting leafless trees on Christmas Eve). I just wish the images were bigger.
There I am — Lynsey Barnett (my maiden name). The photo he refers to is here. Although the photo was taken six years ago (42 in Web years!) and I’d nearly forgotten about it, it’s proof that your internet footprints are around forever!
