Who is this a portrait of? The woman or the photographer reflected in the glass? Is it a double portrait? Robert is the blurry photographer. Heather MacKinnon is the woman holding the glass. She looks upward in a dreamy manner. The broken fragment of mirror hides most of her body. While the mirror reveals the presence of the photographer, the image is so hazy it looks more like a ghost than an actual person. The image has an eerie séance-like feeling, as if the role of the glass is to reveal a hidden thought or a secret boyfriend.

Robert took photography courses in art school and was immersed in discussions that critiqued pictures and the reliability of the information they provided. Here he seems to be suggesting that a portrait of someone else is really a portrait of yourself.
