I'm singin' this borrowed tune
I took from the Rolling Stones,
Alone in this empty room
Too wasted to write my own.
~from the song "Borrowed Tune" by Neil Young
Neil Young wrote this song a few days after the death of a close friend.

The theme for the 'Me Again Monday' group ( www.flickr.com/groups/1688111@N24/ ) this week is 'Borrowed'. When I'm struggling with a creative idea I'll often 'borrow' an idea/concept from a talented musician.
(BTW: This shot is NOT autobiographical.)

A man,who realizes the potential of his mind by means of introspection and contemplation, he does not lack self-confidence. He has control over his mind and he is able to realize it's full potential. ”
this image is part of my Introspection series about fears and trying to get over them. it portrays my fear of losing someone very dear to me, not because one of us dies or things happen, but because i did something so bad that i deserve to be abandoned.
smoke is made out of smoke bombs and an awesome custom brush i donwloaded from Phlearn! :)
Poeka was enjoying the last sun of the day, looking in from the window sill outside. The blinds added a nice effect to the image. The scene was also a reminder to clean the windows in the not too distant future.
Inside A Faded Yellow Rose
I just transplanted a Super Yellow Rosebush and it needed to be cut back severely... Roses in different life stages were saved for the kitchen...
Unfortunately, there were no buds...

My favorite frame from this session. The 50mm lens makes one vulnerable to verbal disapproval if the subject is not interested but I think it also yields a wonderful intimacy of the moment, and wonderful tones. I find myself enjoying it more and more. Newark, New Jersey promises limitless photographic possibilities, and a trip is for me far less expensive, and closer than one to New York.
This HYBYCOZO sculpture is titled Point of View is in the Kitchell Family Heritage Garden.
Point of View 2022
Stainless Steel, Powder Coat Pigment, LED
This sculpture's patterns draw inspiration from Ukrainian cross-stitching, a traditional folk art from Ukraine, the birthplace of HYBYCOZO artist Yelena Flipchuk. This tribute to her cultural origins invites visitors to reflect on grief, resilience, joy, and the yearning for peace.
Please spin artwork gently.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

This is one image that exemplifies doing "candid portraiture at events"
(in Technique).
A 'rorshocking' portrait of introspection, utilizing selective focus 'bokeh' bokeh overlay effect to complete the effect (but she's really just watching an event).
My personal faved best photo of 2004 (added to the 'Cream of the Crop' pool) because it combines utilizing a photographic medium techinque with basic Photoshop technique to create something much more than the sum of the parts.
And in 2005, a wonderful contextual blogging by www.utata.org/archives/2005/07/soul_searching.html and by flickrsoup
Shot at Le Grand Hornu, an ancient Belgian mining site that became in the late XXth century a cultural place, with a modern art museum (MAC's).
the installation where it was shot is :
Représentation d’un corps rond, by Ann Veronica Janssens (1996)
20" x 16", ceramic, dinnerware, stained glass, mirror, glass tiles & grout on hand-built substrate.
Modeled after a Dutch artist, I couldn't resist using a touch of classic Delft pottery in her blouse.
Marion for Julia Kay's Portrait Party,
I still have a bit of cleaning to do, then will attempt some better pics. I couldn't wait to shoot a few.
I'm really happy with how the grout brought this portrait to life.

THANKS TO THE POWER OF INTROSPECTION
The drinking straw is a device used for sucking up a liquid - usually a drink. A thin tube of plastic (especially polystyrene) or other material, straight or with an accordion-like living hinge, it is employed by being held with one end in the mouth and another end in the drink. Muscular action reduces air pressure in the mouth, whereupon atmospheric pressure forces the drink up the straw. The first straws were made by the Sumerians, and used for drinking beer (as to avoid the solid byproducts of fermentation). Argentinians use a similar device called bombilla that acts as both a straw and sieve for drinking mate tea. The modern drinking straw was patented in 1888 by Marvin Stone.
Have a colorful 2007
The more I learn about myself, the more I fear myself. I’m told I should remain neutral. A Switzerland of the mind.
This is a departure from my normal uploads. The original shot (see comment box below) looked a bit bland, so I decided to take a crop and then one thing led to another... I was unsure whether to use the version in the comment box below, but settled on this one for my chosen theme of Introspection.
Introspection is the examination of one's own conscious thoughts and feelings. In psychology the process of introspection relies exclusively on observation of one's mental state, while in a spiritual context it may refer to the examination of one's soul. Introspection is closely related to human self-reflection and is contrasted with external observation.
Introspection has been a subject of philosophical discussion for thousands of years. The philosopher Plato asked, "…why should we not calmly and patiently review our own thoughts, and thoroughly examine and see what these appearances in us really are?"
