In case of palindromes, it is somewhat impossible to say who is the original author. But those are the sources I manage to discover. First I found the phrase on PalindromeList, and then the other sources by searching with the exact phrase.

The idea for this shot started from the palindrome I found. I was going to shot a bunch of camera lenses, mirrored some way, with no intentional pareidolia added. But then I accidentally discovered the figure of a robot. I first used an "on screen" mirror effect app on my mobile phone camera. I warmly recommend using such applications at least for taking the test images. It is much easier to explore the world through a live view. Once the idea and subject has explored enough, one can then replicate it with a better camera and software.
