Overthinking, overdoing, undoing, unthinking, gouging, mending - making do. Creating a body of work driven by the fear of forgetting.
Memories may fade away, but true love remains.
This is my first attempt at layering photos. Still not sure how much I like it. Something seems off about it, but I'm trying not to overthink. Nevertheless, it was fun to try.
On a side note, I love daisies, hence all the pictures of them. They just have that age-old reminiscent feel about them, that dreamy picture of some girl plucking off one petal at a time saying "he loves me... He loves me not..." with each one and desperately hoping she will end with "he loves me". I wonder, why do we do that? It's not as if the flowers decide for us. Maybe we hope for confirmation. Either way, I love the mental picture I get when I think of daisies.
This was my favorite photo from my last assignment, titled The Series. I think the flowers from the tree that are hiding the sign kind of symbolize a deeper meaning. I see it as a sign of how sometimes we are fooled by the things that can create temporary happiness or enjoyment but end up being a negative path for the long run. The sign says stop and is being sort of hidden in a camouflage of flowers (the pretty surface), to cover up the real message and make it harder to tell between what the best decision is or not. Just like many things in life, this photograph is deceiving. I feel that my final assignment was okay, I got a little caught up on not knowing what to make my subject until last minute because of overthinking but it ended up working out I think. I think that I should work a lot more on my photography skills even after this class. I am not yet satisfied with them.
I didn't have a clue what to photograph today. I've been at work all day and didn't have time to try any shots there, then I didn't get chance on the way home (mainly due to the fact Matt and H picked me up and H was extremely tired and grumpy). So I got home and tried my philosophy of not stressing about it and not overthinking it, as that usually ends up with me pacing the garden or the house desperately looking for some random object to photograph and try and look vaguely interesting. Anyway, I spotted H gazing at a spider through the window that was on the other side of the glass and decided that would be my shot!
I thought it was cute how he was showing it to Lightning McQueen as well!
Saturday night at last! It's been a VERY long week. I'm looking forward to getting Mr Grumpy to bed and chilling out with Matt, a few cold beers and some good food.
Happy weekend flickrites!

4me4you Features - ‘reducing her colour palette..’
Artist: Vanessa Garwood
4me4you recently enjoyed a visit to PM/AM Gallery, where the spotlight illuminated the work of the talented artist Vanessa Garwood.
Vanessa Garwood, initially known for her mastery in oil-based portraiture, has evolved her artistic journey to embrace a diverse range of mediums and disciplines. This expansion has provided her with a broader canvas for creative expression, pushing the boundaries of her subject matter. Transitioning to a limited palette of black, white, and grey, Garwood delves into life's contrasting narratives with a literal visual representation, capturing the dynamic interplay on her canvases. Despite the constraint of this aesthetic choice, her works resonate with humour and satire, offering viewers an accessible entry point into her candid exploration of life's challenges.
In her latest artistic phase, Garwood has made bold decisions to paint exclusively in greyscale and switch from oils to the quicker drying medium of acrylics. These changes have streamlined her process, fostering a deeper immediacy in her work, which she considers her most personal to date. While her earlier focus was primarily on human subjects, including portraits, nudes, and dancers over two decades, she now draws inspiration from both reality and fantasy, blending boundless imagination with real-life figures. Despite the whimsical elements infused into her compositions, Garwood's commitment to naturalism ensures a relatable connection for the viewer.
The transition to a shorter window for paint manipulation may limit the time for technical refinement, yet it ignites a newfound spontaneity in Garwood's expression. Embracing this flux state, she thrives without the burden of overthinking. Surprisingly, the absence of colour doesn't diminish the vitality of her work; rather, it amplifies the raw energy of her paintings, captivating the viewer's imagination in monochrome. Garwood achieves a remarkable feat, activating the perception of colour in the mind without its physical presence, underscoring the power of her artistic vision.
A notable theme in Garwood's oeuvre is the strong presence of women engaged in everyday rituals seldom depicted in traditional art history—moments shared over drinks, cigarettes, laughter, and embraces. These scenes epitomise expressive freedom, celebrating vivacity while acknowledging underlying insecurities and challenges. They serve as a poignant reflection of a world grappling with oppressive struggles, yet reaching out for moments of joy and camaraderie amidst uncertainty.

money can’t buy you love cause it’s overpriced
don’t overthink, just hope it's right
i’m only here for the night
My favorite band are currently touring with their newest album but for some reason they haven't made it to my area yet. The waiting is horrible, made worse by the fact that I know when they finally get here, I will only get to see them once and they will be gone again. (I tend to overthink everything, I'm working on it!) Anyway, this is for Keane. I miss you guys! *smile*
At the request of Astro Steve...
Maybe I have been overthinking the data...?
No...up close I don't like this...the HDR or Decon brings out the detail more.....
The core here looks like a fuzz ball from my dryer.
Helge and Finchen overthink the problem, Bobby uses brute force and bravery - the others look how it's done and copy it

Sayumi's story is kinda like that game "Bigger and Better."
Year One: She joins her savings group and starts getting entrepreneurship training. She doesn't take out any loan and just uses the group to save money and learn.
Year Two: She attends a Farmer Field School and starts helping a friend take care of her cow. Her kids' tuition is too high for her husband's income so she takes out her first loan. Thankfully, her new farm skills pay off right away and abundant crops let her pay off that loan the same year.
Year Three: Her friend talks about selling the cow and Sayumi comes up with the idea to take out a loan to buy it. Between the cow giving birth and producing milk, she again paid off that loan in under a year.
Now: Sayumi and her husband just took out an entire 1.5 million shilling loan to buy a nearby farm. After seeing what they did with farm skills and a cow, things look promising.
Sayumi's story is helpful when I start to overthink finances and projects and goals. Start where you are, bank up knowledge, be strategic when the time comes, and go one step at a time, yeah?
When going into high school I decided to join an art program called Say Si. There were many different types of art forms there from visual arts, media arts, acting, and even coding to make video games. I was able to join media arts and this photo was one of the first pieces I made when I was there. And it’s one of my favorite pieces till this day. We were given a theme of black and white, so I decided to take a photograph about overthinking. I tend to overthink a lot of things and I wanted to represent how it’s one's darker self, that voice in your head that is telling you things. However, when you start doing something that you love, those thoughts tend to die down. You don’t think about things too much, you just do what comes naturally to you with a silent mind.
So tired after the weekend, but it was such a nice day so I used the borrowed bike to ride to work in the sunshine.
About six different things are on my mind at the moment and the overthinking is kicking in. Can't shake the black mood but tried to distract myself with dinner club and skypeage. Tried and failed, sigh.

This chair stopped me dead in my tracks when I saw it in the corridor at my hotel in Las Vegas. It seemed both so wrong (plaid with leopard!) and so totally right (southwestern heritage of earthtones/plaid combined with the Vegasesque element of leopard spots).
Or maybe I'm just overthinking it.

Could John Kerry be attempting to poise himself as an "older, wiser, more experienced" possible future running mate? Maybe I'm overthinking things :)
Was nice to see/hear him speak though. Added to the adventure of the afternoon.

I didn’t give myself enough time to prepare and shoot for this assignment. Initially, I took pictures of a ladybug, but they didn't turn out well. So, I had to do the photoshoot again. It was a rainy day, and I wanted to take pictures of the raindrops on the leaves. The green stood out after the rain, and some leaves had fall colors, looking almost like flowers. It turned out okay; I don’t think I experienced anything new or had to do something different with my camera exposure or composition for the close-up. I felt the pictures were a little grainy, but I am not sure; it could just be me overthinking and wanting to be perfect. On the editing side, I simply cropped, tilted, and increased the contrast and saturation of the image. For this assignment, I have kept two pictures as a final as I wasn’t able to decide which one to finalize: the one with the magenta-colored leaves, which I loved because the color popped well after editing, and the picture of the green leaves, where I liked how the green popped out a bit after the rain. It was good for me to adjust the contrast to bring out the green more, but in that picture, the stem had a red shade, which helped enhance the picture a little more. So I just left both as a final picture.
I visited one eyewear store yesterday and saw two 1- floor-height mounds showed inside the store and the stand sign was written " the mud were from our old office. Please do not touch..." so I made this photo and try to express some feelings. Sometimes I get confused about the attempt of creation or get lost in the result...maybe I am overthinking
P.S. 11.11(Double 11) is online and offline shopping day.
Overthinking, overdoing, undoing, unthinking, gouging, mending - making do. Creating a body of work driven by the fear of forgetting.
Have you ever found yourself questioning if you’re good enough? Or maybe you overthink something you did or something you said?
Sometimes we get stuck in those thoughts, wondering about the judgements and opinions of others.
I’ve learned that it comes down to a CHOICE.
Believe me, making this one choice has changed everything for me. I know that it can change your life too, so watch it now.

So today went well, have a little story for you guys for the reason of my photo for today... So after church I got a random phone call from the Recruit Sgt of the Marines. We talked for a good 20 minutes about everything since we haven't talked since last year. And if you guys know me, I have contemplated before whether I should go and do the military but my final answer was in senior year and obviously was a no. So after a long talk he wanted me to come to the base and get more info on the Marines, but I didnt want to. He asked me a bunch of questions before we got off the phone but one problem was my tattoo. He told me to send a picture of it to him and so I did once we got off the phone. For the past hour I was just thinking like why he'd call me but I guess I was overthinking it... or maybe it was a calling? who knows, but it kind of stressed me out a little. But I finally got a txt back saying that my tattoo would be a disqualification. Of course I was relieved because that means I didnt have to go to the base and talk about a career I dont want lol. But yeah later on the day I thought about it and looked at my tattoo... what the verse says is "For I have a plan for you, plan to prosper you and not to harm you. Plan to give you a hope and a future." I thought of this as a calling and being in military is not part of what God has in store for me. Now I don't really care whether you guys read this or not, this is sort of for myself as a journal, but still wanted you guys to know. Enjoy the photo :)
