when you look at you face in the mirror you see the right hand side on the right as you look at it.
if you were to imagine th reflection looking the same direction as you then it would then be the left hand side
(does that make sense??? )

My solution was either the whole mirror thing, or that the photographs were taken of mirrored objects or of twins....
its not that complex of a situation to solve, when u look in a mirror, u see urself, but reversed kinda, u can never really see urself, unless u have a pictur, or two mirrors. Good teaser
