This took up the whole of page 9 in Reflections Magazine, Volume 17, No.1 , a publication that featured the Mistress Antoinette, and was produced by the late, lamented, Reb Stout, (Rebecca High Heels). It had a fairly large circulation, and in addition, could be found in just about all of the stores of pornography sellers, that no one ever admitted to going to, but had full parking lots at all hours. GLBT folk, like your's truly, (the term hadn't been invented yet) found otherwise unobtainable information, (and erotica) in those places before the dawn of the internet, or even personal computers.
This monochrome, was originally an 8 1/2 x 11 inch print, shot, developed, and printed by yours truly!

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. :)
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."

I had fun shooting people on the beach at South Padre Island, TX. I knew this would be for the 'Reflections' monthly contest for NAPG group.
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.
When you look into a mirror
Do you like what's looking at you?
Now that you've seen your true reflections
What on earth are you gonna do?
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Remember the time you hung out with the boys, now
Remember the things you used to say
I thought by now you'd be the president
But after all that was yesterday
But you've had time to go out in the world now
But you chose to run away
Well, people ask you what you're doing now
You don't even know what to say
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Find some inspiration (yeah)
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
You think your life is like a movie
Where it all works out in the end
I think your life is like a desert
Where does it go, where does it begin?
When you look into a mirror
(When you look into a mirror)
Do you like what's looking at you?
(Do you like it?)
Now that you've seen your true reflection
What on earth are you gonna do?
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Find some inspiration (yeah)
It's down deep inside you
Amend your situation, yeah
Your whole life is ahead of you
Your whole life is ahead of you
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration (inspiration)
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration (inspiration)
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration
It's down deep inside you
Find some inspiration...
It's down deep inside of you.

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.

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 ƒ/1.7 - light conditions were rather poor.
(been scanning some almost-forgotten film from spring 2009...)
