Local Kebab house in Tywyn. Trying out this very inexpensive half frame camera based off those disposable cameras but has a glass lens. Great fun.

I hope you like it!

In order to find out who you are, you will, at some point, have to feel really isolated, left out, different. - Jenna Marbles

"I have come curiously close to the end, down
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole,
Defeated, I concede and move closer
I may find comfort here.
I may find peace within the emptiness,
How pitiful."
I have been working a freelance photography job for the last couple of days. This requires a lot of driving in rural Mississippi. Not the most glamorous of jobs, but, it's given me a lot of time to reflect..
I did some more self portraits and really tried to do something different with the light and cropping. I really loved doing these... just wish I had a model so I could just do the photography. I'll have to bribe a friend to help out.... hmmm.
Again... any advise, criticism or comments are appreciated. Merci Boucoup!
Excerpt from brainproject.ca:
We have all been raised to self-reflect and consider who we are, what we want and where we are going. Our view of ourselves is frequently based on how we were raised, educated and treated as children. As we age, we see ourselves further reflected in our families, friends and more generally in how successfully we have navigated employment and financial stability. We often subscribe to the media’s rigid, impenetrable polished ideals that are framed in clear-cut definitions of identity and beauty. “Self Reflection” visually depicts these tendencies while gently reminding us of how aging and disease can also provide new self-images. Though clouded, our self-portraits can also become softer and more deeply beautiful.
At Edwards Gardens today, Toronto
Having a bribe (nuts) helps get closer to these guys!!!

hiding behind my camera
I attempted to do a few self portraits but none of them really worked .....the only ones I liked were when I'm hiding behind my camera!
anyway I'm going to give up on the idea of a self portrait at the moment.

I can't believe how fast 2010 seems to have flown. I remembered quite well my emotions and the joy I felt around this time of the year in 2008.
...at times I wish I didn't search too far to see that the joy I had was within my reach, but I was blinded by own dreams. I dreamt so far that I was losing sight of who I was.
I'm always searching for myself... I don't know if I'll ever find me.
Wishing you and yours a Happy New Year with peace to calm the storms, an endless flow of joy and love in its purest form.
Take my hand
You know I`ll be there
If you can I`ll cross the sky
For your love
Give you what I hold dear
Hold on, hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
Rise up, rise up
With wings like eagles
You`ll run, you`ll run
You`ll run and not grow weary

My obsession with song lyrics continues. Cliche? Everyone does a photo like this, but not like mine! So, yeah, you may have noticed from some of my other pictures that I was born with this different right hand. I used to try to hide it. No more. It is part of who I am. I am used to the stares, the questions, the comments that people think I don't hear. The one thing that still bothers me is when I meet someone new. They enthusiastically stick out their hand (always the right) to shake. When I try to reciprocate, they either pull their hand back or grab me by the arm. Take my hand, dammit, it ain't gonna bite you!

I'm not sure if I am doing it with grace....but I'm sure as hell trying. lol :o)
What if lenses are portals in the Multiverse? It reflects lights, it lets light through. It even changes the original light wave by miniature particles (or species) on and in it. Even scratches somehow influence your image.
But what if other Universes from time to time appear in our images? Maybe it's not me, or she. It might be better me, or better other, our good parts, our more conscious manifestations...
Or even the worst version of mine, who does a lot of bad things, but at the same time occasionally captures the same stuff that I did... Who knows, but this little reflection of me is using your dream cam with your dream lens... or it may be just a slightly different set up depending on condition on this particular Universe...
It can be everything. Perhaps someone from the other end similarly is looking at his reflection in this old glass and thinking about multiverses and various manifestations of self...
I used to live here. This door was painted by my brother. If you look closely at the lower right corner of the window you will see the reflection.
This is the kitchen in my grandmother's home. It has changed very little in my lifetime or since it was built in 1947 for that matter.
So much of my life centers around this very spot where I stood to take this picture. Early mornings when my grandmother would send me off to school with a hearty breakfast of pancakes and sausage. Evenings coming home exhausted from track practice to the welcoming smells of home cooking. Helping grandma wash dishes while we discussed the day's issues. Summers with friends tracking dripping water across the floor in our wet swimsuits as we dashed in to grab a popsicle. Preparing bedtime snacks with grandpa. He would smile and pat me on the head. Late night talks with my uncles over hamburgers. Countless family gatherings with more people crammed into this small space than you could imagine. Happy greetings. Hugs and long goodbyes (just to the left of the window is the door out to the driveway).
If these old walls,
If these old walls could speak
Of the things that they remember well,
Stories and faces dearly held
Sanaz Mazinani (b. Tehran, Iran, 1978). Threshold. 2015/2024
Acrylic mirror, silicone, wood, steel, paint, digital video & sound file.
Sound Composition by Mani Mazinani. Courtesy of the artist, Stephen Bulger Galtery, and Edward and Marla Schwartz.
“Mirrors are often regarded as offering a transparent and unbiased view of reality. In Threshold, mirrors are used to situate the viewer between reality and distorted images, encouraging self-reflection and self-awareness.
Sanaz Mazinani’s work uses intricate laser-cut mirror panels inspired by Islamic architecture. These mirrors reflect images of the viewer and intermingle them with video projections - a coming together within a fractured dimension. The video is created using multiple scenes of explosions taken from Hollywood movies, evoking Mazinani’s childhood experiences of war and conflict.
By mirroring and multiplying these scenes, Mazinani transforms the shocking explosions into kaleidoscopic compositions that captivate the visitor’s attention. Her artwork questions the over exposure and manipulation of conflict in the media industry and the distorted reality that these images create.
Sanaz Mazinani is an artist, academic, and educator based in Toronto. She works across the disciplines of photography, sculpture, and large-scale multimedia installations. Mazinani creates informational objects that invite us to rethink how we see. Her work has been shown internationally and is held in public collections including the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Aga Khan Museum.”
