Thai, Laos and Cambodian New Year festival, celebrated in mid-april, is the most chaoic and raucous festival. People throw water over each other as a symbolic form of cleansing to usher in the new year. Happy Songkran
I was really hoping this system would produce something other than torrential rains....Bah.

Most temples in South India and I guess elsewhere in India have a sacred water pond where ritual cleansing for the devotees or the priests or the deity itself would take place.
Some lying at higher elevations would be the alleged source of rivers and have some mythical tales of epic Hindu deities etc. figuring prominently in some fable or the other.
The "Shringi Theertha" - the temple pond is large and has steps on all four sides. The Bhoginandishwara temple is situated not too far from Bangalore and it was initially built in the 9th century AD.
This pond as per popular legend is supposed to be the source of the South Pennar river and was made when the divine bull Nandi plunged his horn into the earth here.
The day I was there, not too many seekers of divine bliss and fertility were to be found at the temple complex. In the pond area a mother from Andhra Pradesh was bathing her daughter in the holy water after getting her hair shaved off as a part of routine Hindu tradition.

I have had this photo completed for a couple of weeks now. I have debated whether or not to post this one on social media just because of how "dark" this image may seem. I understand this one won't appeal to everyone, or maybe not anyone. Just like every other image of mine, this is something I created, something I am proud of, something that is a part of me. Where did something like this come from?…Who knows? My imagination, maybe I was influenced by all these episodes of law & order ( slightly obsessed lol) This sink was left in our basement when we moved in and I just knew I had to create a photo with it before I cleaned it up. Sometimes I feel like we all get stuck in this "right" and "wrong" way of doing things, especially when it comes to photography, that we forget to use our imagination.
This shoot was taken a while ago but uploaded as private. Since I still love it, I decided to repost it as public^^
This one is my fav out of the whole batch ♥

So this is A LOT harder than it looks. Since I don't like to waste water, I decided that I will attempt this photo every time I take a shower. You'd think all you have to do is hop in the shower and take some pictures, right? Wrong. My shower is extremely hot so as soon as I turn on the water, the whole shower fogs up and you can't see me. Also my remote doesn't want to push down and take burst photos anymore so I had to get out of the shower, press the timer, run back in and hope I was in the right spot. It's a difficult life of a self portrait photographer.
Like they say, "If you don't succeed at first, try, try, try again" and after a few showers and some poor photos, I got a great one. I really love this photo. This is a deeper photo and I love the darker feel. I think that having my hand on the glass helps create two different layers and it also adds a "help" feel.
For editing, I cropped in on the left to move me more to the right third line and adjusted the levels in Photoshop CS6. I then went into Lightroom and changed the Temp to take away the yellow tone. All in all, I love this photo and I think it is one of my stronger photos.

Someone please turn the lights back on
I've been wandering here for days, disconnected, and in search for new air to breathe in
I don't think I can fix this
Don't think I could change
But that's the problem
We never speak to Him
Our closing walls have caged us in
And I can't quite remember
This was the first time I didn't say enough
This was the only time I kept it close enough
Brace yourself! They're not waking up
Oh, my god
I hate the me that I've become,
This needy useless forgetting one
Truthfully I can't be the me that I've washed up to be
Don't stop breathing
The walls have just begun to spin
Just let the water calm you this time
It's all around you, just open your eyes and take a look
It will never kill you; not this time
It's all around you
We're surrounded for all I care
Brace yourself right now
Lights out random breathing
I can't keep swimming, can't keep my head up
moving for the sake of motion
