here's the stage of another play.
you can see the reflected colour of a modern sky. and some people of the past who walk into their stories.
we will never know these stories.
I think it's safe to say I'm at a crossroads in my life right now. I believe we all live our lives in a series of phases and undoubtedly I'm about to move into the most significant and important phase of my life so far.
I took these pictures after a time of reflection and contemplation...looking at them now, I feel they have captured outwardly how I am thinking inside.
It's quite strange to look at them, I almost feel like I'm looking at someone else, an old friend...
Maybe I am.
Sometimes we must look to the ground when we aim for the clouds.
Much better on black.

Comments welcome.
I've been doing a lot of reflecting on my life recently. This time last year I was in a pretty bad place mentally and going through some extremely hard times. I'm lucky to have great friends and family who helped me through them. I've come to the lakes a year later to relax, and this image from Ullswater this afternoon mirrors my current state of mind.
Down by the river today, crazy mist came in, but the photo after this was the last one and tje developer only covered about 1/10th of it.
SEVEN REFLECTIONS ON MY LIFE:
1960’s: I use to run away from home every summer and hitch hike to Florida where I lived as a hippie. My favorite hang out was Coconut Grove.
1966: I smoked my first joint (marijuana cigarette) when I was 14. I took my first acid trip when I was 15. I used drugs (or they used me) until I was 44.
In 1969 & 1976: I’ve been attacked (physically) for being gay. Luckily neither was serious enough to go to the hospital.
1969: I was raped in an abandoned building in downtown Detroit, Michigan. All I remember about this is running out of the building and trying to flag down a bus that was driving by.
In 1974: When I finally got up the nerve to tell my parents I was (am) gay my mom’s first response was “Tell me something I didn’t know!”
In 1974: I was strangled and left for dead in an alley in Vancouver, B.C. Canada. Luckily all they got was my watch. I spent a night in the hospital.
In 1975: While in the U. S. Navy I was court marshaled twice for being gay. (This was before “don’t ask, don’t tell”. In the first case it was found that I was NOT GAY. In the second case it was found that I AM GAY, but they said if I wanted to stay in the Navy I could as long as I didn’t tell anyone I am gay
For the 366 Days 2008 Week 11 Challenge: Reflect.
“Given enough time, you could convince yourself that loneliness was something better, that it was solitude, the ideal condition for reflection, even a kind of freedom." - Dean Koontz
Greetings my Flickr friends! Two uploads within two days! Woah! I'm doing good! :-) For now...
So I actually played with my camera today! Was kind of fun to see what I could invent while being in the house. Inspiration was a little lacking.
Some of you might remember a while back me mentioning a good friend of mine who purchased her first DSLR, and who wanted me to go through a series of photo challenges with her...remember? A challenge a few weeks ago was "Self Portrait" and I think this photo is the best I'll come up with.. :-)
I'm excited though because I convinced that same friend to create a Flickr account! She has yet to upload images, but I'm looking forward to see what she comes up with ;-)
Don't worry...I'll be sharing her link with you all so you can follow/encourage her too! :-)
So...this one is for Helena!
