Chilling at the nail salon yesterday, waiting for my turn with the amazing Chow.
**UPDATE** On 9/17, I collapsed in my apartment at 0315 in the morning. I felt an intolerable pain going up the right side of my body and was having a difficult time breathing. I was immobilized for about 5 minutes but was finally able to pull myself up off of the floor onto the edge of my bed. I considered very seriously calling EMS/ 911.. The symptoms began lessening to a small degree. I googled the symptoms... I believed that I was experiencing appendicitis. So, instead of calling the ambulance, I decided to drive myself...(Im a very stubborn old broad..)
I arrived to Saint Mark's Hospital in Murray Utah, About 5 miles from my residence. The Doctors and Nurses there did not mess around. (Total rock stars) I was admitted almost immediately and tests were began. The test that likely saved my life that night was the CT scan.. It identified a very sizeable blood clot that had gotten lodged in my lungs. This is known as a Pulmonary embolism and is no joking matter. Had this nasty thing made it to my brain: Stroke or death. Had it made it to my heart: Death. Left unchecked in my lungs: Death.
So.. in a nutshell... I am very fortunate to be alive today. A huge THANK YOU to all the staff, Nurses and Doctors at St Mark's Hospital for saving my life. :)

Photo of the Golden Gate Bridge captured from the Marin Headlands in Marin County. Bay Area. Early December 2012.
I look around and all I see are shadows. Shadows of where I once was, who I used to be, what I might have been. Sometimes it seems I don't even know who I am anymore. Where is this world taking me? Back to the shadows in my mind.
I love to go for walks and just set my mind free. It is so liberating to be all alone with my thoughts in an unexpectedly beautiful place.
This is probably my all time favorite picture that I've taken.

...in what other ways can one document the same information? in how many ways can we rephrase the simplest ideas? to be able to see one thing from multiple perspectives at once, so much so that there is no room for judgement, allows us to be open. to everything. and to do what we were born to do. without fear of being judged.

I went back to the Classic Car show tonight and there were a lot of different cars there. It was a great time walking around seeing the old cars and meeting a ton of people! A few more of this car in the comments!

For We're Here! - self reflection
Photo captured via the HDR method of photography from the Vista Point on U.S. Highway 101 in McKinleyville. Humboldt County. Late January 2013.
Unedited mobile phone cam shot of Me, Myself&I, reflected in a puddle. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
I did it! I finally took a wicked puddle reflection of myself! I am not sure if I am more amazed by this photo or the fact that it took me several years to figure out how to shoot a wet picture of myself without any assistance from others, but here it is, AmsterS@m the wicked Reflection :)
If you're wondering how this is possible, check my pose, it gives away the secret: I've put my phone next to the puddle, supported by a coffee mug, turned on the timer and ran back to the other side of the puddle...unfortunately, or luckily, in this case I prematurely assumed that the picture was ready and walked back towards the cam when it went off, hence the 'dynamic' stride. This makes me so happy! I'll post another one tomorrow and now that I've mastered this whole thing, expect thousands of AmsterS@m puddle portraits, haha :D
