The mirror photos are among my own favorites, partly because this is a good way for a shy person to photograph strangers! I must admit that the young man disobeying the sign is actually my son, and so the picture is posed; but in my defence, just a couple of minutes earlier he had actually performed the act in this very corner--it is a secluded spot in a supermarket parking lot where we had parked to walk around the town, and I found it really amusing that the owners of the lot had deemed it necessary to paint the prohibition on the wall. I like the XP2 Super better than Kodak's T400CN. Last fall I used it a lot. I have it processed in a minilab and use the 4x6 prints as proofs. It is certainly a conveniant way to shoot B&W. But recently I have been drifting back to normal B&W film in this speed category (Ilford Delta 400), as I find the chromogenic negatives a bit lacking in contrast and overall impact.
