The first image I presented of the Naga Goddess was too dark for my tastes. Here is a new image reworked to be more in line with what I was looking for.
These are previously posted images in a new realization. I am preparing for a photo show at the CameraWork Gallery. The gallery is the oldest photographic gallery west of the Mississippi and was started by none other than Minor White Himself.
While these shown here are in Ken Lee's warm bronze tint (very platinum-like), the final prints will be in pure Palladium.
While going through old images I decided to look at this under exposed RAW image that was nearly solid red since I had never white balanced it. When this photo popped to life for me in my software I had a significant realization as to why I love infrared so much and never tire of white leaves.
To me, plants are calm and stately. They're clean, steady, consistent, and live in peace. They represent some (almost Zen-like) ideals that I always want to try to incorporate into my life.
White is often equated with purity, so by combining something that is symbolically positive for me (plants) with another symbol of purity (white), it produces a type of pure ideal that I think all of this time has appealed to me on a subconscious level.
This photo is the leaf of a sunflower seedling that my mom gave to me when her and my grandma came to visit me memorial day of last year. The poor little plants didn't make it in the indirect sunlight that my apartment gets, but I'm glad I have this photo from them.

The Self Realization ceremony gives knowledge of the eternal Soul within us. Becoming free from wrong beliefs and attaining right beliefs allows us to realize who we really are.
I was thinking today about how much I’ve been obsessing about getting “the shot” and how that has effected my memory and experiences. I think that this obsession has effected the way I go about things, instead of enjoying the day for its natural beauty and the pure experience of it I’m always seeking the perfect exposure. So today during the sunset [that you see the tail end of here] I just sat and watched instead of worrying about f-stops and composition. During this time the sun had already gone below the horizon but the bridge was lit with what looked like alpenglow, it looked to be on fire, it was tremendous. I’m sure it would have made for a brilliant exposure, but since I’m not doing this for a living I can afford to miss one of those every now and again.
Nigambodh (meaning “realization of knowledge”) Ghat situated on the banks of the Yamuna River /back of Red Fort consists of a series of bathing and ceremonial steps leading to the waters of Yamuna River. It is known for being the busiest & oldest (dating back to the times of Pandavas) burning ghat in Delhi for performing last Hindu funeral rites. As per the legends, it is believed that Lord Brahma bathed and recovered his lost memory on this Ghat, so the name Nigambodh Ghat, meaning realization of knowledge.

For a couple of weeks I'd imagine that this would work. 2 pallets from the lumber yard, plywood stored in the playhouse, bricks and blocks I found in the garden and under the house. Just needed some help to move things into place and fasten it all together.

n. the realization that the plot of your life doesn’t make sense to you anymore—that although you thought you were following the arc of the story, you keep finding yourself immersed in passages you don’t understand, that don’t even seem to belong in the same genre—which requires you to go back and reread the chapters you had originally skimmed to get to the good parts, only to learn that all along you were supposed to choose your own adventure.
For as long as I can remember, I've known that some part of me didn't quite fit. All through my childhood, every human interaction seemed to suggest that I wasn't quite suited to my social surroundings. The first big realization was that I'm more-or-less an introvert. That's an obvious barrier to building friendships and connections – but it didn't mean I was a recluse. Given the chance, I'd be irrepressibly talkative in the company of one or two people, spilling out about my hobbies, interests, and silly nonsense bouncing around in my head. I was a noisy child.
This is when I discovered that the borders of the boxes around types of people didn't easily contain me. Someone might see that as a reason to stroke your ego and call you "special", but as a kid, fitting in was far more on my mind. If someone singled me out as remotely divergent, even as a compliment, I'd make a point to avoid speaking to them again. Normal was all I wanted. Not for anyone to think I looked better, was smarter, or to even notice I was taller. I felt allergic to any physical or mental characteristic that defined me as different.
If I'd grown up in a different time, family, or culture, I would have certainly extended that aversion to gender. When I looked in the mirror, or into my mind, I never found a binary state that fit in with the boys or girls. I was a boy in the mirror, and had no problem with that. But in my mind, I was everything I'd observed in the company of girls. All I ever wanted was female company, it seemed like the most natural thing to me. But it was only boys who could get invited to my birthday parties and sleepovers, and male invitations were all I received in return.
In my small town in the 1990s and early 2000s, most personal social interaction was segregated by sex. Larger groups could be co-ed, but one-on-one connections were limited to same-sex-only. This was a source of frustration to me, because as an introvert, it left me constantly on the outskirts of feminine friendship. I could talk to all the girls I wanted, but it never seemed possible to be with them alone. When I finally made my first real friend in 2005, it should come as no surprise that she was a girl. We ended up dating, and it didn't work out, because I was clueless to the fact that the joy of finally having a female friend shouldn't have been mistaken for romantic attraction.
Over the next few years, I made more friends, and nearly all of them were young women my age. In those cases, I didn't make the mistake of assuming any romance, and I don't think that most of them considered it likely. I just wanted to be one of the girls, with all the social context it entailed, while physically remaining one of the boys. In the age of increasingly specific labels, there is probably already one coined for a straight man who prefers the platonic company of women – so I won't bother trying to invent one. But whatever that's called, that's me.
When I met Susy, my wife, it was through a video of my poetry online. That's honestly how I'd hoped it'd go, because I valued my mind infinitely beyond my physical appearance. I wanted nothing to do with a woman who prioritized me being physically attractive to her above all else. Love at first sight was the last thing on my mind. Don't get me wrong, we both think pretty highly of how the other looks. But there's much more happening in the sound of a voice, the construction of a thought, and the mutual expression of unbound emotion.
Perhaps it's no coincidence that the majority of my audience identify as female. All across social media, they're around 70%. So if you're a man reading this, there might be something statistically more feminine about the way your brain works. If you find that relieving, maybe it points to your gender being less binary than you assumed. Who can say? If you find it worrying, heck, I don't know, go do some super-masculine stuff until the fear fades away. If you've followed my journal for any amount of time, then you're aware that I value the foundations of identity above all else. Even when you know your mind intimately well – and don't we all? – it's still worth puzzling the pieces of how you got there. It'll always teach you more than someone else arranging them for you.

The ultimate purpose of life is to get Self Realization, finish all our karma and attain ultimate liberation. But suppose, in so many religions, they do not know about the Soul, then the second purpose of life is to oblige others, help others.
