back to reality... the here and now!!!
i am standing in muddy waters in the middle of my street after yesterday's daytime downpour of our rainy season. most rainfalls happen during the night, so I could not show you how each north-south running street in Ajijic becomes a river running down from the mountains into the lake.
no, we are not flooded here, this is totally normal, it’s how our lake refills itself every year after the 9 month dry spell and why our curbs are so high in this village -
and it only takes like half an hour until one can cross these streets again...... unless you have rubber booties like me (((:
but yes, there were times when leaving a restaurant after some elegant evening dining, we had to step right into this muddy water.... with our elegant sandals and shoes, to walk home or get our cars! (((: (a true story!!)

"Nightmares and Reality are much closer than many are willing to admit. A man who thought himself a benevolent God to his people falls to an infection. The infection takes hold of his body, his mind, his soul, and his ambitions. Unaffected by the shackles of mortality, he is no longer himself, he is a husk, a shallow structure fueled by his anger, his hatred, and his frustration. Pure rage and instinct guiding this new entity aiming to bend the entire Sol System to his will."
Welp, things have happened errors have been made :O

"Dieci stelline al discorso ai laureati del Kenyon College...
...che secondo me tutti dovrebbero leggere, almeno una volta nella vita. E non esagero se dico che si dovrebbe magari tenerlo a portata di mano, e rileggerlo, ogni tanto, per ricordarsi di tentare (almeno tentare) di avere quello "sguardo profondo" sulla realtà che permette di non dare tutto per scontato, di mettersi nei panni degli altri per vedere le cose sotto una prospettiva differente e di far fare un passo indietro al proprio egocentrismo." Recensione al libro che sottoscrivo. Mi sono piaciuti i racconti, ma è il discorso ai laureati che merita l'acquisto del libro. Buona lettura!
"Ten stars for the speech to the graduates of Kenyon College...
...which in my opinion everyone should read, at least once in their life. And I am not exaggerating if I say that you should perhaps keep it at hand, and reread it every now and then, to remember to try (at least try) to have that "deep look" on reality that allows you not to take everything for granted, to put yourself in shoes of others to see things from a different perspective and to take a step back from one's own egocentrism." Review of the book that I subscribe to. I liked the stories, but it is the speech to the graduates that deserves the purchase of the book. Good reading!
This is how we walk down the street. Ben goes in leaps and bounds, while I prefer the slow and steady hop.
Here's the deal. I am taking six busy courses this semester and I have only two spare neurons to rub together. I'd love to use them for a picture everyday, but alas I cook dinner instead.
We will be here every Saturday though!
(The quality of this shot is horrible, I have no idea why!)
Part two in a series of bondage images.
Part two is that numbing clarity felt when there is only yourself and your bindings and the voice that commands you even though you may or may not be able to see its source.
That's why I'd rather stay with fiction...............

He was standing on the side walk a few feet away from the busy cross section. He stood still with his eyes closed and he would smile at times. I couldn't help but jump to the conclusion that he probably is daydreaming. Maybe he was dreaming of a different life, different place, or different situation. Whatever he was dreaming about he was definitely happy. I could not help but smile when he smiled, his smile was full of joy and happiness. I was truly happy for him that even for a couple of minutes he was able to go into his own world and escape reality.

North Cornish coast. A stunning location and I had wanted to do some sparse black and white sea images for some time, so it was great to make that a reality, especially in such a beautiful location. This one belies the power and violence of that coast on even a moderately breezy day at full tide. I nearly fell in at one point whilst climbing on one of the bigger rocks to get a look at a possible shot. Heart in the mouth moment. Just for a split second I thought I was going in, with all my gear...
You have experienced intense harm and evil so devastating that you find yourself questioning reality. It’s so easy for you to question yourself, to believe this means you are weak and it comes more naturally to turn this inward and severely criticize yourself. And you’re doing the hard work of looking for beauty and goodness wherever you can discover it and finding ways to try to express and validate your very real experience when you can’t find words for it. Maybe that is strength.
[image created on 3-1-2024]
Recently I became very fascinated by digital pinhole photography. This image was created with a modified pinhole body cap. I think I’m drawn to this type of photography because I feel it relates to my life and it seems to teach me far beyond photography. There are strict limitations that can drastically alter how images are captured and the final outcome of the photos, there is a lack of clarity compared to how I normally capture images with a lens, it’s difficult to predict exactly how the image will look and beauty and meaning can be found in the process and the final photo. It gives me a chance to practice embracing the unfamiliar, change, finding beauty in imperfection and growing in new ways.
____________________________
As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.
If you would like to support my work and my family, one way you can do so is by ordering my zines:
Many thanks for your support.

Ah, I have to face reality, this is winter in Toronto, Canada and it is extremely cold! "Humber Bay Park is a waterfront park located in Etobicoke, part of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The park consists of two landspits situated at the mouth of Mimico Creek." Wikipedia
Thanks for visiting and enjoy your weekend:)
