Unedited mobile phone cam shot of Me, Myself&I, reflected in a puddle. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
This is the last Self-reflection from this series that I'll post, I promise :)
Today I am not only excited about having managed to shoot myself in a puddle without any help, I'm also overjoyed because as of this week I have a new schedule...I don't work on Fridays anymore!!! Every freakin' Friday I am off and can do whatever I want, enjoy life a lot more, take tons of puddle pictures, drink a million coffees, smoke thousands of cigarettes and meet hundreds of my lovely friends... unless I'm too lazy to do any of those things, then I'll just hang out on my couch with my cool little Netbook, yay :D
Thank God it's Friday!

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

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!

Photo of Luffenholtz Beach captured via Minolta MD Celtic 28mm f/2.8 Lens and in the census-designated place of Westhaven-Moonstone via Scenic Drive, County Road 4M310. Humboldt County. Late October 2013.
yup, i shoot w/ a point and shoot. that's all. i'm poor, intimidated and lazy. and that's why.
yup, i'm shooting w/ my left hand. thumb, to be exact. and upsidedown. i hate that cameras and everything else in life are made for right-handers. so sometimes i do this. it works better.
and yup, i'm covering half of my face. i have a clearasil all over my chin for the volcanic eruption goin' on. that's why.
and now, i'm going to watch TV.
It just so happened that ~ Maitexu ~'s first group choice was my 50th day.
And it just so happened that she chose self-reflection as her group of the day.
I mean, what better day to reflect than on a milestone day in your 365? So I'm posting this early in honor of her (and because I don't want to f--- with this in the morning tomorrow). Now, this isn't the best pic I've ever taken, but it's my first light painting, and btw, it was done with my handy Samsung Instinct. Kinda cool how my head is floating in one area, but my shadow is in another....
It's been a fun ride, especially since meeting all you FuGgeRs!!!!
And as Maite always says: PLEASE, OH PLEASE View On Black !!!
in the cemetary i feel peaceful. i found this beautiful decaying leaf and had to put it in the frame. the light was so gorgeous and the dissolving leaf seemed perfect in this setting as a metaphor for letting life rest in to the earth.

Slightly edited selfreflection on my sunglasses in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1.
I like sunny days, I think most of us do, but unlike most of us, I don't really like staying in the direct sunlight, I prefer a shady spot from where I can see the fearless sunbathers, offering their medium-rare bodies to the yellow, burning Overlord in the sky, that lately only graces us so seldom with its presence, and I think to myself 'Hmmm, I wonder if those people are made out of Teflon', because I could never do that, even if it wasn't seriously bad for your health, I just overheat too easily. So if you see a bald dude sitting in the shadow, smiling at you while sipping on his cold drink, that's probably me, studying your molecular structur for any visible traces of (C2F4)n (yes, that's the molecular formula of Teflon, hehe) shining through your skin-layers...or you're just a hot chick and I'm checking you out...sorry about that, lol ;D

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.

I saw you gather all your hopes
With all your dreams
I waved just like a shooting star
That once had waved to me
I am a lover in mid air
I think about it i don't care
Into the fire of despair
Just like a train that goes nowhere
But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain, rain on me
Cyndi Lauper
I've always loved the rain. Everything about it. The smell, the feel, the sense of oneness with nature as she renews herself. We had just come home from my cousin's graduation when the rain came. I started setting up my tripod. My aunt and uncle just quietly went inside without a word. They knew to let me be. I let the rain soak into my skin as the dog watched from the garage.
Old. Probably my favorite self portrait.

Photo captured at the beach on the ocean side of Freshwater Lagoon. Humboldt Lagoons State Park. Humboldt County. Mid July 2013.
My sister-in-law asked that I take pictures of her cat. I have taken many pictures of her tabby (Ollie) as he is friendly and curious, but Hopper (pictured here) is fairly shy and gets nervous when something is pointed in his direction. So getting shots of him, can be a challenge! However, of the two cats, Hopper is more affectionate, smart, athletic, yet moody and temperamental!
