John Szarkowski, created the exhibition Mirrors and Windows that ran from July 28 - October 2nd, 1978. Through this exhibition, Szarkowski argued that "personal visions take one of two forms..... the photograph is seen either as a mirror - a romantic expression of the photographer's sensibility as it projects itself on the things and sights of this world; or as a window - through which the exterior world is explored in all its presence and reality". In retrospect, this was a modern way of thinking about photography and art; in his book he displays images that conceptually range from the Mirror scale to the Windows scale, sometimes even both. In this task, we got into pairs and we made our own scale of a Mirror and a Window and placed images that we thought fitted on either side or in the middle. A lot of the images we put on the mirror side was landscape images because we felt that the photographer is just looking at the surroundings they were in that moment, whereas with the Mirror side, we had portrait images. In the middle, we had images that were pictures of places but that were distorted a little bit because we thought that maybe the use of distortion represents how the photographer feels about the place.
