I'm just not feeling creative with photography in general so this explains my Flickr absence and FGR lurker status.
Originally an idea for Flickr Group Roulette's Theme Day Self Reflection Oct 7th.
Very grainy/noisy with no flash so brightened, partial saturated, curved etc etc. Still working out how to photograph my twinkle lights.
A self reflection in terms of looking at my calender for items and plans coming up. And lack there of mostly. The year is going by so fast. So fast. So many things I want to do this year and my list is building. Waiting.
I like how my dimple, I didn't know I had that much of, stands out. And I really do tuck my lower body parts like this when I sit.
I'm still here. Reflecting. Sorting. Prioritizing. Questioning. Procrastinating. Whining. Aching. Living.
This photo was taken in the Taipei Zoo, of a monkey pondering at himself in the reflection of a pond. I turned the picture to express, portray and illustrate the monkey's close connection to humanism. Doesn't this look familiar? Waking up in the morning, looking at yourself in the mirror?

"I must. I want you to explain to me why you won't exhibit Dorian
Gray's picture. I want the real reason."
"I told you the real reason."
"No, you did not. You said it was because there was too much of yourself in it. Now, that is childish."
"Harry," said Basil Hallward, looking him straight in the face, "every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the colored canvas, reveals himself. The reason I will not exhibit this picture is that I am afraid that I have shown with it the secret of my own soul."
— Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Early morning on a mountain lake is often gentle and an excellent environment for self reflection…this was such a morn!
Self-reflections. Flickring away (well editing, actually) stil in my pjs and suddenly thought to take this self-portrait through the mirror.
Reminds me of films about journalists, committed to their trade - chaotic office, at work all hours, and, of course, a NIkon camera :)

The image for this postcard comes from a modified screen capture from a trailer for the TV show "Orange Is the New Black."

No, FGR didn’t invade the cliché group again. Today’s challenge features the Self-Reflection group.
Right now I’m reflecting on why I don’t watch presidential debates, how come the only games my boys play with one another involve kung-fu, & how good that beer I’m going to crack open after this shoot will be. mmmmm, beer.
Gotta go…very thirsty.

Mental Health Weekend.
Which basically translates to taking care of business and of "self." Yesterday I hand washed, waxed & vacuumed the VW, something that in the past, was always a relaxing exercise. It was a nice way to spend a Saturday outside, and you can't beat the reflection of a grateful finish.
