New Orleans Adjusting Mirror

by Eleanor Novak

Sunlight strikes the peeling mint-green shutters of a French Quarter balcony, illuminating a cluster of terracotta plant pots stacked unevenly on the iron railing. Below, on the worn brick stoop, a young man balances a red lacquered wood stool while carefully adjusting the angle of a hand mirror propped against a stack of newspapers. He uses a small charcoal sketchbook resting on his knee to compare the reflection of the streetlamp’s curve with the actual ironwork above. A quiet moment of preparation, with the rough texture of the brick contrasting against the smooth, glossy finish of the stool and the reflective surface of the mirror, all lit by the harsh, clear light of a New Orleans afternoon.
