here i am, in norwalk, connecticut, where i now work... the last few weeks have been very introspective... i've had a lot of time to think, riding a train with some really sad people... i've thought a lot about past mistakes and what they've cost me... letting go of all that... it's time... so yeah, this is my first self-portrait with the diana+ camera... not bad... still not sure what i think of it though... it's no holga, that's for sure... :)
After our 3rd nor'easter in something like 10 days, I thought it might be worth having a look at the patterns the snow makes when it sticks to the trees in the land preserve behind our yard. It's not meant to be a flashy image, but rather a calming image to study. Thanks for looking!

Detail from a monument to Edith Louisa Cavell (British nurse and patriot °Swardeston UK 4 December 1865 – ✝ Schaerbeek Belgium 12 October 1915) by Belgian sculptor/medalist Paul Du Bois (°Aywaille 1859 – ✝Uccle 1938).
Edith Cavell is celebrated for saving the lives of soldiers from both sides without distinction and in helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium during World War I, for which she was arrested. She was subsequently court-martialled, found guilty of treason and sentenced to death. Despite international pressure for mercy, she was shot by a German firing squad. Her execution received worldwide condemnation and extensive press coverage.

Yes, I know, I did say that I wouldn't be sharing any more photos of this sunset, but something (fairly) interesting has happened since I said that. I received a very sincere message from a friend whose opinions I respect, asking why all my recent photos seemed so moody and introspective? He'd noticed that my last few photos were all about 10-15% darker than any of the previous photos that I've shared, and he wondered whether this was due to my new computer and monitor, or if my generally positive mood had somehow changed. It's a bit of both, I suppose. :)
behind glass and light, a boy drifts into his own weather. clouds pass, but they stay — hanging between his gaze and the world outside. it’s not a portrait, not quite a reflection, but something in between. something suspended.
captured on a quiet morning around the corner from crosby street in soho, new york city, this image showcases a man seated against a vibrant backdrop of graffiti-covered walls. the early sunlight casts dynamic shadows, highlighting the solitary figure engrossed in his phone. this photo beautifully contrasts the lively urban art with the introspective moment of the individual, encapsulating the essence of soho's unique blend of creativity and contemplation.
Diana Rudychenko, captured in a moment of quiet reflection. A striking portrait showcasing the interplay of light and shadow.

A portrait that transcends the moment to reflect a narrative steeped in grace and history. Her direct gaze invites the viewer into a silent conversation, while the rich textures of her attire whisper tales of a bygone era.
Sometimes emotion doesn’t need motion, it lingers, still and steady, in the quiet gaze of a single moment. This portrait captures the calm defiance that lives behind the eyes, the kind that doesn’t shout or break, but holds its ground softly, like light against shadow.
Shot as part of my ongoing fine art portrait series, this image explores resilience, identity, and inner stillness through minimalism and tone. The texture of light, the grain of the skin, the shadow that breathes around the form, together they create not just a photograph, but a conversation between strength and silence.

I've been fairly Introspective lately about the quality of my life and the lives of others around me: family, friends, colleagues,and people worlds away from me on other continents.
I realize I am blessed.

Santa Chiara is a religious complex in Naples, Italy, that includes the Church of Santa Chiara, a monastery, tombs and an archeological museum. The Basilica church of Santa Chiara faces Via Benedetto Croce, which is the easternmost leg of Via Spaccanapoli. The church facade of Santa Chiara is diagonally across from the church of Gesù Nuovo.
The double monastic complex was built in 1313–1340 by Queen Sancha of Majorca and her husband King Robert of Naples, who is also buried in the complex. The original church was in traditional Provençal-Gothic style, but was decorated in the 17th century in Baroque style by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro. After the edifice was partially destroyed by a fire after the Allied bombings during World War II, it was brought back to the alleged original state by a disputed restoration, which was completed in 1953.
Famous is the cloister of the Clarisses, transformed in 1742 by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro with the unique addition of majolica tiles in Rococò style. The brash color floral decoration makes this cloister, with octagonal columns in pergola-like structure, likely unique and would seem to clash with the introspective world of cloistered nuns. The cloister arcades are also decorated by frescoes, now much degraded. (Wikipedia)

My guy took a job out of town, so this was a lonely night for me. But not too lonely, my dog and this lovely tree kept me company. ;-) This could be a good photo to try to learn basic HDR with--I see (and remember) so much potential in the darker parts of this image. I wish I did know how to manage exposure and color better in photoshop. Right now it's kind of like being led by a sheep dog--I'm just all over the place. ;-P
Virgos born on August 26 possess a strong sense of purpose. They have a great devotion to fairness and a desire to apply their energies for the benefit of others. They are quiet and introspective. They don't make a show of themselves and prefer not to be put in the spotlight. August 26 men and women aren't as concerned with success as they are with getting things done well. They aren't competitive and prefer to take the middle road.
I don't know if I normally put a lot of faith in astrology, but I have to admit this almost fits me to a "T". Although online I'm not quiet--in fact, at least someone thinks I come from the "sarcastic people factory". lolol
She doesn’t need words to be heard. There’s a softness in her gaze that holds your attention — not because it demands it, but because it invites you to pause. The way she clutches the blanket speaks of comfort, of safety, and of something held close, both literally and emotionally. This is a moment between thoughts, between sounds, where the world narrows to quiet observation.
There’s a mystery here — not dramatic, but intimate. A sense that something is being felt deeply, even if she’s too young to name it. It’s in the eyes, in the silence, in the pause before the next breath. This is where the story lives — not in what is said, but in what is held inside.
What I love about this one is that there's nothing really to it... but there is something that makes me want to go back there.
It just looks like the perfect time and place to be introspective.
Then again, I'm weird.

I created this for ODC - Words of Wisdom and the Gratitude Project. I am grateful for the time and opportunity to create images. It is an introspective process for me that helps me disconnect from stresses of the everyday.

Not much to say today... feeling introspective.
This is actually three pics layered together, but I took all three.
Walking across a frozen pond is kind of exciting, but it makes me slow down as well and really look at the surroundings with all senses...so this little gem was in front of me as the afternoon sun gently lit up one of the twigs...it seemed so zen and introspective!
"Your" Body & "The End" by the Chinese artist Xiang Jing.
Xiang Jing is a profoundly introspective and innovative Chinese sculptor whose work explores the complexities of human nature, identity and existential truth.
Rather than aligning with a strictly feminist stance, she approaches her art from a woman's perspective, using the female form as both subject and statement. Her sculptures, though realistic in appearance, carry a deep emotional and psychological weight, challenging conventions of beauty, self-awareness and gendered experience.
Her artistic process is meticulous and deeply personal. Working primarily with fiberglass, Xiang Jing layers hand-painted details onto each piece, ensuring every sculpture possesses an individual presence and emotional depth. Her practice is problem-oriented, engaging with themes such as the relationship between observer and observed, internal desire and the shifting boundaries between realism and abstraction. She is a fiercely independent thinker, constantly pushing the limits of contemporary sculpture while maintaining an introspective approach.
Xiang Jing's work often reflects her own life experiences, forming a first-person narrative of self-exploration. "Your Body" part of her Keep in Silence series, marks a critical shift in her artistic journey, moving away from the Mirror Image series and solidifying her distinctive voice. The work encapsulates her drive
to express vulnerability, desire and transformation.
There are moments when the weight of the world clings to a young heart,
when the eyes speak of battles fought in silence,
and the soul leans quietly against the edges of wonder and sorrow.
In the stillness between breaths, a story unfolds —
one of resilience, of innocence weathered by unseen storms,
of tears that never quite fall but are felt all the same.
