i always miss florida. this is my friend who model for me on my first photoshoot. caught her reflection and decided to add a florida touch <3
You know, Gaga, trust is like a mirror. You can fix it if it's broke... but you can still see the crack in that motherfucker's reflection.
I miss all y'all in Flickrland, even though it was nice to take a break after completing my 365days project.
I decided to make December a month of reflection, and to take a reflection self-portrait every day for the month to give myself something to do before my next 365 project (2009: a purists' year in pictures)
I figured a month of reflections (as in pictures) accompanied by, well, reflections (as in thoughts) would also be a great lead-in to the new year.
So my thoughts for the day:
Today I went to the dentist for the first time in several years... I was pleasantly surprised by the dentist, who was very thorough, and very affordable. I *only* had 2 cavities and some serious plaque. I really should take better care of myself, and actually DO these things that I know I should do (like going to the dentist).
Oh, and for hnsfwm, I hope it's okay that my "windows" are the computer kind... no disrespect intended, just trying to be clever and fit it all in. :)
How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow, a reflection. I must have a dark side also if I'm to be whole
Another shot from Lady Vervaine's series of bus window reflections. (You may have to adjust your monitor to see it clearly, depending on your brightness settings, etc...) This image brought to mind a powerful & disturbing piece of writing I came across recently:
"The techological web we inhabit endeavours with every new development to isolate us further from each other (iPods, cell-phone movies, Gameboys, email) and from the larger social whorl (HD TVs, hundreds of 24/7 cable stations, video home delivery, minivan DVD players, the internet).
Entertainment technology in previous decades was a minor ingredient in the texture of our lives; when not watching or listening to our limited broadcast or theatrical options, we were taking part in the flow of humanity. Social intercourse defined us and our responsibilities to the world.
Today, we are consumers first, citizens second, and the castle of distraction we've built around ourselves is itself little more than a series of revenue streams devised to exploit us. We face it alone every day, slowly ceding to it control over our priorities and viewpoints."

She actually caught the reflection, but I caught the light leaks. I can't decide whose catch was better...
Taken with Yashica Electro 35 GSN camera on a DM Paradies 100 film. Scanned with Canon CanoScan 8800F. Yashica is in an inoperable state, battery terminals are corroded, so camera works in unpowered mode, without the light meter, with fixed 1/500 shutter speed. This photo was probably taken with lens wide-open, at Æ’/1.7 - light conditions were rather poor.
(been scanning some almost-forgotten film from spring 2009...)
This afternoon we took a drive to the Bodega Bay marina for photos; I'm never disappointed no matter what time of day we go there as long as it's low tide.
Reflections of nearby buildings in the glass wall of a skyscraper. Fianacial District, New York City.
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Hapiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Last Sunday I found myself staring in a mirror.
Had been a while since I last saw my own ugly face.
Had been a while since I experienced running hot water and soap.
A zink, a toilet, soap, towels, electricity.
I was in heaven.
Even if not gone for long, things change and look different when you get back.
I was reflecting over good news and bad news.
I had been taken from the past and now dropped back in the future.
Time flies, in many ways and meanings.
This song was on "repeat" in my head on my way back home.
