Self portrait in the bumper of an old cruiser in Atlantic City. This sky is no sky at all, it's a painted illusion on the ceiling of the "Tropicana Quarter". Everything here is fake but the car - and me, for sure.

Heute möchte ich etwas persönlicher werden!
In letzter Zeit habe ich immer öfter „Ich habe mich nicht getraut Dich anzusprechen oder Dir zu schreiben!“ gehört. Sorry, aber das ist Quatsch! Ich bin ein Mensch wie jeder andere. Ich bin nicht besser und auch nicht schlechter als jede/r von Euch!
Wenn sich jemand auf Facebook wie ein Superstar oder wie eine Diva aufführt und sich für etwas besseres hält - lacht ihn oder sie einfach aus! Die Person hat weder ein Mittel gegen Krebs gefunden oder den Weltfrieden herbeigeführt noch 100 Millionen Platten verkauft und sicherlich auch keine drölfzig Oskars für schauspielerische Höchstleistungen verliehen bekommen. Also kommt runter und entspannt Euch!
Wenn so einige ihr Leben komplett auf Facebook dokumentieren, ja sogar in Facebook leben und denken sie seien darin Superstars sind sie für mich einfach nur Lachnummern. Die sollen erstmal etwas im normalen Leben darstellen bevor sie meinen Respekt bekommen!
Also nochmal zur Erklärung:
Ich habe immer Lust darauf Leute kennenzulernen und diese zu fotografieren! Ich freue mich auf Eure zahlreichen Nachrichten und darauf mit Euch viele gemeinsame Projekte von sehr seriös bis absolut verrückt, von hochgeschlossen bis sehr offen, von extrem stylisch bis komplett durchgeknallt zu planen!
Schreibt mich bitte einfach an!
Liebe Grüße
Roy

I’m not reinventing myself this year piersey.com/stopped-chasing-reinvention-life-calmer/ I’m choosing a quieter life. Here’s why simplicity, space, and fewer inputs finally made things feel sustainable.
I learned, last year, that my facial expressions often don't convey what I mean for them to-- in particular, that I am seen as angry or distressed when I am not. This isn't a good thing. So I worked on paying more attention to my expressions, and bought mirrors so that I could see what I look like. This one ended up in my hallway. I often blow myself a kiss when I am leaving the apartment. I think this helps me wear a happy face.
What a fantastic day it has been. The sun is casting such lovely long shadows this evening (as noticed while my dog was chasing a bitch on heat around the park!). I thought I'd go for the John Travolta look as I'm going to a 70's party on Saturday night and need to get into the mood.
I looked at the camera stats on Flickr earlier and the iPhone 4S is the most popular camera for uploads at the moment, with the Canon 5D Mark II coming a close 2nd. I can only profess to having an iPhone 3GS but it does the job...x

New lipstick. I hate it.
I guess I can say I'm content with the way things are currently. Yes, if I could I'd change a few things. Nothing is perfect, is it?
Today Flickr Group Roulette invades the Self Reflection group. An apt choice I think as I have been doing a lot of thinking the past few weeks. And tonight here I am, in my room alone, struggling to stay online as my connection is slower than dial up at best. I don't really get on with my flate mates so there is no conversation there. And my phone and my work phone are both silent as no one is calling. I am also aware that I am putting weight back on and I am mega out of shape. I have done no training in at least a month, maybe more. I started training in January as part of my new years resolution and I was doing well, I was starting to lose weight and was getting fitter, but now I have gone back to my old ways.
I need to sort myself out and fast.

Grazing cattle on pasture lands near the national park. Quite a delight to witness as this herd of cattle simply perform life's duties and allows us to experience the smaller things in life. Photo captured at a cattle ranch near Redwood National Park in the town of Orick. Humboldt County. Early August 2013.
In a quiet dressing room, a melancholy Pierrot stands poised between performance and self-reflection. Behind the costumed figure, a wooden mannequin sits calmly before a vanity mirror, suggesting the tension between public persona and private identity. Bathed in cool blue-violet light, the scene explores the emotional labor of performance, the masks we wear, and the uncertain boundary between authenticity and artifice. The glowing doorway hints at possibilities beyond the stage, while the silent exchange between the two figures invites viewers to consider who we become when no one is watching.
