These look the same

Art

A few weeks ago in Vegas, I saw the glass flowers at the Bellagio. I walked by, but then came back to take a couple of photos, because as I thought of it I realized that the glass colors really looked a lot like my number-colors. (On a side note, I just read that synesthetes often have trouble representing their perceived colors with paint because they're thought of as colored light rather than colored pigment. SO TRUE. Though obviously there are ways around this. But, I think this is why the colored glass was so compelling--it's much closer to light than pigment.)So, at Christmas this year, my mom gave me an old tape I recorded when I was in high school. I used to make these albums all the time, complete with covers I'd print out on the dot matrix printer. Look at this closeup of the cover!What's extra weird about this is that 1) I didn't take photos of anything other than people, except for those flowers, and 2) when I showed the photo and the tape cover side-by-side to my family, every person thought they were seeing a photo of the album. So weird!
