I really like this photo, it was taken by local photographer Sam Ashby. The first thing that stands out is the text, 'THIS MIRROR MAKES YOU LOOK FAT', I then notice that the words are affixed to a mirror in some sort of public toilets. The reason for putting the text on a mirror is that the words reflect the view of a section of modern day society. A lot of glossy magazines are obsessed with thin models and the infamous size 0, a lot of young people will read this and see the people in magazines as some sort of role model, in extreme cases anorexia and even depression can come about from the constant pressure of looking thin. An image like this only reflects our society and shows us the shallowness of a small number of people.
