Travis Alexander's Last Photograph

When I first saw the photo of Travis Alexander above, I felt a strong feeling that he had a sense of what was going on when this photo was taken -- that he knew he was in serious trouble.  I sensed terror and fear and a sense of disbelief, like what they hell am I going to do?  I wondered when she took this photo, if she had a gun or a knife aimed or pointed at him at this point, and we see his initial reaction. Or I wonder if she was acting so deranged at this point, he knew it was a sticky situation.

Today an Eyes for Lies reader shared with me a photograph that she put into a face mirror software which splits the image of a face in half, and then mirrors it back.  She did both the left and right sides.

What it reveals is absolutely fascinating!  In the photo on the left you see sadness.  And the photo on the right you see an intensity that is gut-wrenching.  It's like a mix of a fear and anger that one would feel if they have their back against the wall and they are cornered. As another Eyes for Lies reader said its a "fight or flight" response.  I can't agree more.

This reader further conjectured, when we split a face in half, are we getting windows into the right and left brain?  You sure do wonder.

Thanks Eyes for Lies readers for sharing your thoughts with me and others!
