For this portrait of Roland from Turbostaat I sneaked into the backstage catering area of a festival in Dortmund with a friend of mine to get a couple of free beers after we photographed the last band of the day.
While we were sitting at a table 'Rotze' walked by and asked us if he could sit with us to grab some food. Of course we wanted him to hang around with us. While my buddy Daniel already knew him I never met 'Rotze' before. But I realized immediately that he had tattooed hands. So I asked him if I could take some pictures after he finished dinner.
After we found an empty backstage tent which had nice light in it I took some shots. Some time after that festival I saw that he got new tattoos while I was on stage when they played another festival but I wasn’t able to meet him that day. In the end it took me several years to take a new photo when I met him backstage last year.
Will share this photo later as well and this time I didn’t sneaked in. ;)
But back then when I took the first picture I still was trying out the pose I would need for a good picture and wasn’t really overthinking everything. And his pose is so damn smart. I guess this is why I still like this picture so much.

Sum 41 - Crazy Amanda Bunkface. Una de mis canciones preferidas de Sum. Yep.
Esta semana ha estado muy desequilibrada emocionalmente. Madre mía.
Por una parte, la felicidad de saber que he conseguido una maldita matrícula de honor ^u^
Por la otra, la ¿tristeza? de saber que la verdad duele mucho y lo difícil que es intentar cambiar. Pero bueno, aquí estoy, intentándolo aunque me vaya a explotar la puta cabeza. ¿Por qué tiene que ser todo tan complicado, joder?
En fin, que ya es veraaaaaaaaaano y hoy es la noche de San Juan, y es una de las poquitas veces que "el grupo" se reúne casi enterito y, y, y mola bastante. Jé :D
Pasadlo bien, no penséis, que es malo y nos vemos la semana que viene :)
There are so many things that I need to stop doing/being. One is oversleeping, another is overthinking, third is doing useless stuff over the internet, fourth is being too lazy to exercise, fifth is watching tv too much... And the list goes on... Yiii!
This coming week will be a better more productive week for me. I promise. :-)

It’s a strange feeling going into houses that at one point had been beautiful and happy and full of life, now they sit, unoccupied and left to rot by nature and squatters. Maybe I’m overthinking it all.
Jakki's Round One for Life is PINK!
This picture is really pink :O Haha! Look at that I made a funny!
Anywho. It didn't really take long at all which suprised me because usually I overthink my shots and they end up taking days to finish and looking like it took minutes. But I am pleased with this :D I've seen a few of the others and they're way more amazing but I think I did good *big grin*

this week has been pretty slow for me, I really haven't done much but lay around and spend hours on tumblr.This has honestly led me to overthinking. I guess overthinking gets the best of me at times, I've noticed myself a bit gloomy. Goodness sake! I need to go out!
Artist Statement
Throughout this semester, I have learned a lot about myself as a photographer. I have learned that it is not as “easy” as it seems to be creative and abstract. There is a great deal of work, thought, and planning that goes into creating intriguing and meaningful images. In reflecting upon myself, I have learned that I have a great deal of work to do, to improve my own photography skills. Thinking outside the box doesn’t come naturally for me, as I tend to be more of an analytical thinker who enjoys a good set of instructions. That is something I need to learn to let go of, and do what comes naturally. I am very intrigued by becoming a better photographer, and learning how to use the equipment I have more effectively. I need to stop overthinking every aspect, and let the images take shape on their own.
With my final project, I was determined to capture this time in my life in photographs. This is my first pregnancy, and let me say it has definitely been an adventure. At the beginning of the semester I was on top of taking a self-portrait once every 2 weeks, in hopes of capturing the gradual changes that were taking place on scale that I could then compare and measure. The further I have gotten into my pregnancy, the less diligent I have become of making sure I take my self-portraits. While I think that overall I have a good representation of how my body has changed and the development of my baby, my photos were less professional looking and lean more towards snapshots. While I tend to prefer photography that is less staged, and more natural, the mix of the 2 styles for this final project made it challenging. While I had wonderful intentions for this project, after I started the editing process, I quickly learned how challenging it was, because if an image I had was not working quite right, there was no way to go back and try to reshoot the image. Therefore my final project, and the quality of the images when they are meshed together, is not as high as I had hoped it would be. I am also slightly disappointed in my lack of skills in Photoshop. While I can complete rudimentary tasks, when it came to a final project of this magnitude, I was truly wishing I had more training and skills. It would have done the images I had more justice, and made seem like less of a collage, and more of a single merged image. This gives me something to work on for the future. Overall, while I truly liked the idea and the process of getting to my final project, I had hoped that the finished product would have turned out differently.
In the future, I plan on continuing to work on my photography skills, because I truly feel that the more practice you have the better you are going to get. I love black and white photography and portraits, and plan on having some more focus on this area. I am sure in the upcoming months and years, I will have many moments to capture in photographs. I plan on continuing to work on my technical technique, but also learning how to let go and let things happen naturally. Overall, I feel satisfied with how far I have come this semester, and look forward to growing as an artist.

Do I look like a senior? Because I am one.
Been working and cleaning my room all day. It's about time I took a photo for the past week.
I'm sorry I've been a terrible contact.
I love the colours in this.
...
I'm a senior, and this fact is crashing through the paper thin walls to my brain and the section that makes me overthink everything.
Do you think Bio 30 will tell me where exactly that is?
In addition to all my doctors are doing, I decided to give acupuncture a try to cure my ills. As my expert practitioner listented to the voices of the ancients tell him which points to use, I relaxed in the dim light of the room, breathing deeply and enjoying the soothing background music. For now, I'm trying not to overthink every little thing, but I do feel pretty good this afternoon. Not 100% or even 75% better, and it could just be time of day, but I do feel not horrible. We'll have to wait and see how it goes. Next appointment is set for Tuesday - providing nothing goes awry with my less relaxing lung needle biopsy on Monday. #cy365 #Indistinct
in every sense of the word.
was walking back from the St Paul Ruins and passed by this mirror that reflected this amazing image of the structure. too high up hence the weird composition but i like it this way.
sorry if i haven't been commenting a lot lately... I have been very much putting all my life into the internship... can't screw up... i'm starting to overthink and everything, it's driving me crazy and i haven't even officially started. Just went through two days of training. :o
k, i hope you enjoy the weeks ahead more than i do.
PS: go listen to SHINee's Hello, it's on my replay list right now hahaha. To think I would actually love KPop.... Only SHINee though, especially JongHyun.

Last night I decided to get back into painting again. It had been a few years since I went through a brief but inspired landscape phase, and I’ve been itching to break out the acrylics once more. I’ve had some ideas brewing for a while now, and wanted to try them. One thing I found myself doing was thinking too much. Making art definitely requires a fair amount of thinking, but overthinking can lead to a lot of frustration and doubt - something I experienced for several hours into the piece. Then something happened. After trying this approach and that approach, and not being remotely happy with the results, and frankly wanting to throw the painting into the trash, with nothing to lose, I tried a different method of applying the paint. I also tried abandoning how I initially wanted things to be, and go with a more intuitive, almost stream-of-consciousness approach. In a very short period, things seemed to flip 180 degrees, going from complete disappointment, to pure joy. I’ve been wanting to explore abstraction for quite some time, but never seemed to figure out how -it’s not as easy as most people may think. Last night however, felt like a breakthrough, and I couldn’t wait to wake up and see the painting in natural sunlight. Who knows what will become of this, but it was definitely a positive experience. I always say the path of art is not for the faint of heart - there are always a multitude of trials and tribulations that most people never see, whether it’s composing a painting, setting up an exhibit, or selling your work, it’s no walk in the park. Yet, we continue on this path to create, sometimes with no solid explanation. I’m thankful to Kris for her honest and constructive criticism - it can make a world of difference in my own artistic choices. As for the piece, it’s still not completely finished, needing a clear coat of gloss varnish. For now, here’s a sneak peek. #art #artwork #artisticprocess #painting #acrylicpainting #abstractpainting #abstractart #artistsoninstagram
today was one of those days where i overthink everything and get paranoid and scared
and my heart starts to beat really fast
and i get nervous about the way things will turn out
and i try to be perfect for everyone but it doesn't work the way i want it to
and i am left with just my thoughts and fears..
cool me rambling about nothing.
i think i'm in love with this even though the light on my face is funny looking.
New and improved model now features a larger mouth for quicker uptake of tax dollars,
dual core digestive tracks allowing for unequalled production of campaign promises and
yet remains true to its original form.
Available for export, expect fall delivery.
I can’t overthink things.
Thoughts need to flow, organic.
I cannot design things as contrived.
I work best last-ditch, seat-of-the-pants, circumstancial.
No plan, never never a rough draft.
Simmering down of every thought, idea, dream, lyric, punctum, crashing together in momentous inspiration.
Hard to market.
But visible, once it’s in front of me.
When I open my eyes to see it.
Lucid.
Lucid, my pet.
Know you’re creating.
Awake.
Alive, and in the moment.
Not planned, contrived, no, but carefully constructed of something pure. Impatient, careless, but passionate. Can it all be?
Want to keep this mindset, the one that pushes me forward, spurs me on. Though theoretically. What of action? Oh please God, can the two work together? Let my mind set itself up to be motivated while it produces, to wax poetic while it works, to philosophize while it brings its questions and emotions to tangible fruition. Let it ignore the fabricated negativity of the ‘other’ that strangles its unborn ideas with their own umbilical cord. Let it ignore the real negativity that may come when those idea-children are carried to term and thrown coldly into the world to be consumed.
There is no you, there is only me.
There is no fucking you, there is only me.
In my art. Of course there is only me. Gather inspiration, gather techniques, gather conceptual seeds but never be buried by the creation of others. Plant your own tree in that soil.
Even now, belittling your creation with thoughts of reaction, of profit, of criticism. Fame, fortune, rejection, failure – cannot be sole motivating or hindering factors. By-products, nothing more. Know this, feel this, move far beyond it.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU IN THIS FOR?
You’re diving in, headfirst. In the deepest end. You’ve already made that decision, you already know you’ll never settle for less. Now, why, really, ask yourself, why why why?
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care where—” said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
“—so long as I get somewhere,” Alice added as an explanation.
“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.” —

What are you suffering with?
I have an anxiety disorder and depression
How long have you been suffering from this?
I have been anxious since I was about 7 but it wasn’t diagnosed until about 2 years ago, and at the same time, they psychoanalyzed me and it showed I had symptoms of depression.
Can you describe a panic attack for me?
With a panic attack, it kind of, no one really knows what trigger mine, but what it is is that if I’m worried about something instead of being able to dismiss it, my body doesn’t know how to deal with it, it will instead build into a panic attack. This will lead to me having heart palpitations and not being able to hear properly and blink, I mean I will be blinking a lot. I dunno, just general panic anxiety ensues destruction in the mind.
How did you find out you were suffering, what happened to make you visit a doctor?
Well when I was younger I kind of, I used to like, blink a lot, and kind of, they took me to doctors they didn’t really know what was going on. I used to blink quite a lot, and they thought I was doing it for attention. I used to stutter over words and even now, if I’m trying to get something out, I kind of stutter over it, if it hasn’t formed in my mind yet. But, uh, the moment I can pin point was I was walking to school with my sister and my then boyfriend, and I had been having these kind of heart palpitations, and I had felt so shaky and spaced out, and generally anxious. I didn’t really combine the physical symptoms with the mental ones. And I just sort of collapsed, and I was panicking, I didn’t know how to deal with it. My heart palpitations were making me breathe uneasily, which then meant I fainted. I got taken to the doctors um and they said that I had all the symptoms of an anxiety disorder.
Are there any people you’ve relied on constantly throughout this period of recovery?
I’ve relied a lot on you
I know
It’s mostly, I, I struggle to talk to people about the issues I’m going through, because I feel like I’m burdening them, I don’t do it for pity, like I don’t want to talk to people, sometimes it’s a physical thing, like I can’t actually get the words out. I have to feel completely comfortable with someone to completely offload. Mostly it’s close friends, rather than family members.
Okay, so when you’re feeling bad, is there a place you feel safest?
There are 2 places, used to be on Denne Hill, sounds really morbid but there’s this grave yard, St Mary’s church, and there’s a peace garden, I used to go there with Sammy (close friend), now I go alone, I dunno, it’s just so peaceful. And then there’s the library in Brighton (near her dad’s house), and that’s just chill.
Is there anything that triggers your anxiety, something specific?
It’s random things, I haven’t come across something that I do or see that I know will trigger it. I dunno, there are certain rooms, at Collyers (college), that I couldn’t go in to, because I had had feelings of anxiety there, like mild feelings, they just like, increased into this exponential crisis that I was having every day about not being able to go in to college. And then basically by the end of it I couldn’t physically go to a classroom without someone pushing me in.
How do you handle that?
Well, I, sounds really up myself, but you have to be really strong willed and so I’ve just had to just build up that strength. This is why I had to drop out of Collyers and move to Haywards Heath (college), I was just doing 2 a levels, and it was affecting me so much, this is what I anted to do in the future so I didn’t want it to hold me back, I needed that change. I dunno, I experienced the same thing a bit with Haywards Heath, I couldn’t even get through the gates, but, instead of leaving it too late, like (at Collyers) I left it so long before I talked to someone, and by then it was exam time. But with this, my mum found out within a week and I’ve been talking to my family, and my mums closest friend, Tash, and for all the last week, she was messaging m and my GPS was on so she could see where I was, and she’d encourage me “you’re right outside the gate, you can do it”. Then over time her voice was replaced by my own. So yeah, just being open with people at the beginning, instead of keeping it away.
How do you describe yourself?
Um I would say, I’m quite happy, like when people find out I’ve got anxiety or depression, they are shocked not because I’m a massively cheerful person, but because I am not self pitying or like just depressed, I won’t go to parties and get drunk and cry, or look all forlorn in public with people. I don’t like to dwell on things, I guess I am quite upbeat, um, yeah.
What do you do to calm yourself? Keep you calm/happy?
If I’m at home, I’ll just finger pick the guitar, nothing special. When you have something, it doesn’t have to be that, that takes all your concentration, it makes you mind go blank, like reading a book, or watching a film. Because when I overthink, I panic. Some people like being alone to deal with it, but I need someone there to coach me through, looking me in the eyes, telling me, bringing me out of that anxiety. So yeah.
Some days, you have to stop caring so much & take a step back. Some days, you really need to take that step back before you can take two steps forward.
She sighs and tucks her hair behind her ear while she stares and tries to concentrate. There's a book in her lap, but she can't focus on anything that's written on it-she's over thinking about what's going on in her life. It's only when rain drops fall on her that she realizes it's gotten darker and there's clouds overhead.
She's sitting next to the fountains; it had been a warm, sunny day so far-peaceful around her, but war rages in her head. She can't stop analyzing everything that's been going on; her mind is in overdrive.
She looks up and sighs again. It's almost time for her mid-term exam; she tries shoving all the other thoughts away, but she's worrying too much. She takes a long, deep breath, and focuses again. One fight at a time.
Darle mil vueltas a un asunto. Preocuparte por cosas insignificantes...
Tendemos a preocuparnos demasiado, y eso no es bueno.
Deberíamos aprender a no tomarnos todo tan en serio.
Deberíamos dejar que los problemas pasasen sin que nos afectasen excesivamente.
No deberíamos preocuparnos por cualquier cosa.
No deberíamos hacer una montaña de un grano de arena.
Es muy fácil decirlo, pero no es fácil hacerlo.
Así es como me siento yo ahora mismo, quiero dejar de darle mil vueltas al mismo asunto, pero no puedo. Es difícil. Pararé cuando mi cabeza haya explotado.

Worrying about insignificant things. We usually worry too much, and that's not good.
We should learn not to take everything so seriously.
We shouldn't worry about everything.
It's easy to say but not easy to do.
That's how I feel right now, I want to stop worry about the same problem, but I can't. It's difficult.

Andrée
I met Andrée at the entrance of the Mont-Royal metro station while heading to see friends and since she appeared to be waiting for someone I decided to approach her. Building the courage to open a new stranger after nearly a year off this project was HARD. I feel like I tend to overcomplicate things a lot more than it should and overthinking an approach is just the worst thing. So for her, I kept things simple:
I asked her if she was waiting for a friend and she replied that it was her husband, and that he was late ;) So I ask her if she had plans tonite and she told me that she was going groceries shopping with him because they were receiving her grand children this weekend and needed some food for the event. I ask her if she was local of this place and she told me that she used to live in the Plateau for 20 years, but now moved to Hochelaga since prices where better.

I'm not sure anyone would identify this as a shell if not for the source image. It feels more like a chrysalis or maybe a dismembered body in a duffel bag.
I'm curious what you'd think it was if you didn't have the shell image to refer to? Weird, wonderful and worrisome answers welcome.
Today I was working on the details without being too detailed, so it feels a little half-arsed, to be honest. It's definitely more of an "impression" than photorealism.
The curves and proportions are not perfect. But I definitely feel it flows more for me when the object is organic in shape, and I try not to overthink things.
Essay: “Coulter Right on Rape, Wrong on Treason” at wp.me/p4jHFp-3U.
With a stunning display of logic, Ann Coulter recently observed, “If we’re in the middle of a college-rape epidemic, why do all the cases liberals promote keep turning out to be hoaxes? Maybe I’m overthinking this, but wouldn’t a real rape be more persuasive?”
A Townhall promotion praised Coulter, exulting, “Ann Coulter slams the left for minimizing actual rape.” Funny, I don’t recall anyone on Townhall slamming Coulter for minimizing actual treason.
When will the conservative movement and conservative media take Coulter to task for minimizing actual treason? Do conservatives no longer care what words mean? Have they, in Buckley’s parlance, “simply lost their grip on language?”
Ha guess what?! As I got dressed this morning, I saw myself in the mirror and felt like taking a photo. I actually hesitated to get my camera, capture the moment and share it with you guys.
I definitely laughed when I read the prompt :-D
I wore a new skirt I bought on a spur that is quite comfy but enhances my curves.
As the day went on I felt less confident and tried to hide.
In Victoria Welsby's program I learned that most of the times when we have a negative thought about our body, it actually means that we are feeling negative about another subject. Trying to analyse the thoughts when they come up are a good way to understand what triggered them.
I did that and it turns out I was feeling a bit down about work and my manager. This small stress caused me to translate it into a bad body thought.
Lately I had those when overthinking about the move and my new life, especially when I was sick and home alone.
So if you are having those kinds of thoughts, try to understand why they come up.
In the end, our thoughts become our words and our beliefs.
That's why I'm happy to be here this year. Seeing myself through the lens and all of your eyes will help change my beliefs.
I still took photos in my clothes because my inner voice wanted to this morning. The head is cut because I wasn't entirely in the frame of the camera. I took others but always came back to this one, maybe because the pose feels powerful.
ps: I pulled an Alanna here with my long post!!
I confess I'm not in the picture taking mood today, in every photo I took I had this "furrow" to my brow. I suppose too much thinking, computer working, planning and Focusing (ha) I'll work on ironing it out :) In the meantime getting ready to be on the move tomorrow morning to head a little further north. Better start getting the sweaters out. :)
because I said so. Or maybe the baby did. Either way, I couldn't resist.
Sidenote: this photo also makes it kind of obvious how much I'm missing by not using my real camera as much as I used to. I'd have taken this photo anyway, but seeing it big on my monitor, how much nicer it is when taken with an actual camera vs the phone... yeah.

Pimples, a lot of the times, are a result of STRESS. And here is living proof of it! Lol
Plans are getting done at work, now I gotta work on not overthinking it all, just doing it and relaxing!
After work, I had the nicest conversation with my cousin, who just finished her first marathon. What an inspiration! The I agree to do a half marathon with her next year, so IT'S ALMOST OFFICIAL.
When I got home I focused on planning all my outfits for my Spain trip coming up and then... I passed out!
