No make up or lip gloss. Just me in the tub reflecting on what makes me happy. I hate when I look back at pictures of myself and see and unsure, unhappy person staring back at me. I don't care how good or slim or sexy I thought I looked, if the feeling didn't reach my eyes it wasn't a good picture.
Lately I've been trying to capture what I feel in a picture. I learned that I can be sexy whether I'm a size 20 or 12...And I can be happy for where I stand today because all of the bad things have made me more aware and a better person.
In this picture I see acceptance, peace, happiness.

It doesn't have to be a perfect picture but it's me

Slightly edited selfreflection on a car in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app.
It ain't always being easy being a wicked Reflectah, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to make it to the point where I'm at now, and it'll take so much more of both to get me to where I want to be, while all I want, is a looong vacation, lazy me, lol. When I think about this, I always hear this song in my head:
"Sitting in my car watch the stars and smoke
I came a long way but still I got so far to go."

As former president Teddy Roosevelt puts it...behold it is the "Eighth Wonder of the World." The water originates from underground springs above and at the falls. Even during the dry summer months and at 129 feet in height, the water provides an almost constant flow rate of 100 million U.S. gallons / day.

Semi-candid portrait of a friend's son at his family's annual Australia Day party (January 26).
Our national day is problematic as it is commemorates the arrival of the first European settlers in 1788. The anniverary of federation would be a less racially insensitive date on which to celebrate Australian nationhood but that's January 1st -- most of us would be too hungover. ;)
Photo captured at a sheep ranch, with a hint of Redwood National Park in the background, in the town of Orick. Humboldt County. Early May 2013.
A young woman stands on an infinite pier, holding a frame that endlessly repeats her own image, like a visual mantra of introspection. A translucent maze overlays the scene, symbolizing the winding paths of the mind, the loops of memory, and the journey of identity.
Like a mantra whispered in meditation, the repetition becomes a ritual — a contemplative echo guiding us inward. Between serene surface and inner complexity, the image blurs the line between reality and illusion, inviting reflection on who we truly are.
There is no witness so dreadful, no accuser so terrible as the conscience that dwells in the heart of every man.
~Polybius, Greek historian (205-118BC)
I've been toying with this idea and saving this quote for a long time. I think I finally achieved my vision for it. There has been a great deal dwelling in my heart (really my mind, of course) lately. Funny how these flashes of creativity, these brief moments of near greatness come of such unsettling in the soul.
Photo of the sunset over the Pacific captured from the Vista Point on U.S. Highway 101 in McKinleyville. Humboldt County. Late January 2013.
Shot with my trusty Nokia N8. I cropped it in Photoshop and enhanced it a little bit, but in essence this is the photo out of the N8.
Taken in Hong Kong with a baby hanging off my chest while trying to navigate massive Christmas crowds and photograph things. Not the most conducive photography environment.
There have been many men who have been so connected to themselves and on their path that they are not wanting to get into a sexual relationship with me because they’re in a state of self-inquiry, self-reflection, abstinence, or whatever it.

Just trying to show that if we paint our faces and put on a smile, we can often hide the turmoil within. I think that many of us are guilty of hiding our inner feelings at times, be they happy or sad.

Slightly edited mobile phone cam shot of myself reflected on the backlight of a car in Amsterdam. Taken with my C905 mobile phone. No editing besides some messing around with contrast and saturation, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
You may have heard of the worldfamous crop circles already, but did you know that there are also AmsterCircles out there?! They appear out of nowhere on reflective surfaces and (not too surprisingly really) usually contain a wicked Reflectah pointing some kind of photographic device at the viewer...no, wait, at himself...the viewer...oh well, he's pointing that thing at somebody and just a few days later, mysterious AmsterCircles will pop up all over them InterWebs, hahaha ;-D
Yeah, I know, I'm a funny guy, mhehehehe ;-P
And just in case you forgot already: From October 1 - October 30 you can see some of my wicked reflection photos at the 'MultiCulti' exhibition at the 'ABC Treehouse' in the Voetboogstraat 11, Fridays – Sundays, 1PM-6PM. ('MultiCulti' is part of GRID 2010, 4th International Photography Biennial), yay :D
#283 of the 365day challenge , I BELIEVE THE TWIN TOWERS WERE TAKEN DOWN BY EXPLOSIVES and the UNITED STATES government or military helped let it happen.
Photo captured at the site of where the Little Sur River drains into the Pacific Ocean on the El Sur Ranch property in Big Sur. Monterey County. Late January 2013.

I'm a total Nature-freak, I have so many plants in my house and on my balcony, that it looks and feels like a jungle, my preferred natural habitat...well, not really, I don't like wild animals or man-eating insects, so let's say urban jungle. To my utter delight, lately I had to realize that I spend so much time surrounded by plants that some kind of osmosis process has started, converting my body into a new half-human-half-plant lifeform, not an unpleasant experience, as I get to hang around chillaxing most of the time, and looking at my leafy hands, nobody is expecting me to get any actual work done anymore anyways, so I'm mostly being left alone in a corner, working on the final stages of my plantness, and as you can see, rather successfully, I am almost there...please water me every now and then, thank you :D

I've spent the last 2 months working way too much, using up all my energy and positive thoughts, now I'm just an empty shell that does nothing else but wake up, bike to the office, spend a harsh day filled with activities that require my full attention and focus, even though they don't deserve them, and that force me to erase any and all traces of a (social) life. All I get in return is more harshness, unreasonable demands, expectations as high as the freakin' Twin Towers (when they were still standing, obviously :) and little 'mistakes' at the accounting department that ensure that I'm not even getting paid a cent for having worked every freakin' Friday, my usual day off, since the beginning of February.
This is not a situation that I would wish on anybody, least of all myself, but that's what I wake up to every day, and every day I need to muster all my spirit and positivity just to make it out of bed and to work without crying like a wee little baby, needless to say that there is nothing left to put into taking pictures or spending quality time with my (Interwebs) friends, so as of now I will only post one picture a day, instead of the usual 3, until I won't even have the resources left to achieve that, hopefully that's not gonna happen, I am addicted to this shizzle :)
The good part is that soon I won't have enough energy to complain about my situation anymore, so you should not see too many of these cry-baby posts in the future, lol :D
Have a relaxed weekend!
