A photograph

I´m not a fan of photography, but it has always brought me very powerful feelings, like art in general.
I feel that photography speaks an unknown language, to which each one attributes a meaning, there are shapes, colors and textures that each person interprets differently, this happens unconsciously.
That´s why I consider photography to be therapeutic, since it leads you to find yourself and your deepest emotions for a moment, it´s everyone's decision to face them or simply evade them.
This image was taken in Queens, New York by Eric T. White, he´s an American photographer. I couldn't find the exact date this photograph was taken.
The image is a bit strange because a mirror is used and this produces a pretty crazy optical illusion, you can see a woman sitting in the sand and very close to the water on the beach, she´s hugging a mirror and only her arms and legs are visible, which are duplicated in front of the mirror.
The truth is that it was very difficult for me to choose a photograph, there were many that I liked, especially those that show nature, but then I found this image that I had saved a while ago.
It seems to me that the composition of this image and the optical illusion that it generates is very interesting, it made me feel many things, at first a shock since it was difficult for me to assimilate its content, but then I felt it very warm and like an invitation to flow. It generates a rather strange contradiction and I like that very much.

Movies and series

This series is very well known as it has been very successful, I bet many of you know it or have seen it, but if you haven't seen it, I recommend it.
"Friends" is a comedy series set in New York City, created and produced by Marta Kauffman and David Crane. Its launch was in 1994 and it was finished filming in 2004, it has 10 seasons and each of them has around 20 episodes that last approximately 20 minutes.

It is about the life of a group of friends (Chandler Bing, Phoebe Buffay, Monica Geller, Ross Geller, Rachel Green and Joey Tribbiani), how they face different situations, go on adventures and accompany each other through thick and thin.
I started seeing it last year after many people recommended it to me and currently I see it from the beginning a second time (lol). I like it a lot because, despite being pretty extensive, It has a not very structured plot, which makes it nice and quite fun to watch, it also happens to me that I can see it and do other things at the same time, such as drawing, sorting out, playing something, etc. This series doesn´t have a consistent plot between chapters, each chapter has a different plot and that means you can watch it with someone who has never seen it and this person will understand what is going on.
