NOT PHOTOSHOPPED. It actually came out like this.

The left-hand side is a mirror, and the right-hand side is clear glass, with Alisha standing on the other side.
To those of you saying it's shopped, see this photo for context:
www.flickr.com/photos/emilyhughes/2055606442/
Taken here: peggy-guggenheim.ilmito.org/search?q=dan+Graham
The only alteration I made to this photo was iPhoto autocorrect and a little fiddling with contrast.

Sorry, but I have to call bullshit on the "no photoshop" claim here. The ghostly fingers & missing wrist might not be apparent at first glance, but come on, take a look at Alisha's neck/chest.

@ksmith: The right hand side is glass, hence the slight reflection of her fingers/window

"The third mind walks beside you" -William Burroughs (Look that up for future events of serendipity- Warning: May cause deja vu and an occult pattern recognition of more mega-powerful moments of synchronicity as in the picture. Don't take that quote and scroogle it while operating heavy machinery.)

The cool thing is, you could hold your right hand up and she could hold her left. This would show two left hands, and would verify the authenticity of the mirror. Cool shot!

@ dankoner42: read the caption. The left hand side is a mirror -- I'm reflected (the photographer). The right hand side is a pane of glass -- my friend is standing on the other side.
