Albelardo Morelli

          Albelardo Morelli's work is amazing. I find it unbelievable how it is possible to take a life-sized scene from reality and mirror it into a room. It's almost like cloning; the reflected image is just as perfect as the real thing. My absolute favorite is the photo below, the view of the Brooklyn Bridge from 2009.
          I'm not sure what about this photo is more intriguing, the bed that is actually there or the perfect reflection. I know the bed isn't part of the camera obscura, but something about the rich red of the sheets and the intricate styling of the headboard is beautiful. But the image of the Brooklyn Bridge is incredible, with the tall, strong sides of the bridge and the amazing New York city in the background. It looks like you're looking out the window at the actual scene, not seeing a reflection.
