Each time he tried to touch this perfect youth
The water's surface broke; he'd disappear
The ripples would eventually smooth
That paragon of youth would reappear (Elia Michael)

The late night beeps buzzes and whirs were enough to make Buford lose sleep, but when the nocturnal interlopers started shining a light through his bedroom window, he knew he had to take action. So he loaded magnum rounds into his Mossberg and left the window open. After two rounds to the underbelly of the strange machine, Buford realized that he might have a new problem...........

____________________________
As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.

Modern Philosophy: An Introduction and Survey
Scruton contends, following Immanuel Kant, that human beings have a transcendental dimension, a sacred core exhibited in their capacity for self-reflection. He argues that we are in an era of secularization without precedent in the history of the world.

To have faith ... does not mean to dwell in the shadow of old ideas conceived by prophets and sages, to live off an inherited estate of doctrines and dogmas. In the realm of the spirit only he who is a pioneer is able to be an heir. The wages of spiritual plagiarism is the loss of integrity; self-aggrandizement is self-betrayal.
-Abraham Joshua Heschel
The authentic individual is neither an end nor a beginning but a link between ages, both memory and expectation. Every moment is a new beginning within a continuum of history. It is fallacious to segregate a moment and not to sense its involvement in both past and future. Humbly the past defers to the future, but it refuses to be discarded. Only he who is an heir is qualified to be a pioneer.
-Abraham Joshua Heschel

Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Sanaz Mazinani (b. Tehran, Iran, 1978). Threshold. 2015/2024

Sound Composition by Mani Mazinani. Courtesy of the artist, Stephen Bulger Gallery, 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.”

Lightbox this with L!
The icons are whispering to you,
they're just old men,
like on the benches in the park,
except their balding spots are glistening with gold.

Today I went out to the backyard/woods to shoot and my cat Albus followed me down. The entire time I was shooting he ran through the grass, under my tripod, and between my legs. So, I finally decided to pick him up and shoot with him. He's in some of my past photos here. He's such a sweet and affectionate boy. You can see him trying to play in my arms. :)
As soon as I got inside though, it started to pour.
This looks kinda silly, I think, but it has a serious meaning. This really is meant to represent the need we all have to reflect on who we are where we are going in our lives. The discarded mirrors littering the ground amidst the dying grass signifies discarded personas we may have once held up.
ETA: I couldn't get the colors right though on the mirrors in the grass. Alas.

Hello Flickr!!!!!! I hope you have been doing well! I have been super busy and the coming month or so is going to be even more full. I just wanted to stop in to say hi and that I miss hanging out here with you!! This was taken over the weekend at Bristol Renaissance Faire (was there for the second time this summer). It was a fun day there on Sunday after a fantastic day spent hiking and canoeing on Saturday.
Only two more days until the holiday weekend! Enjoy the downhill slide!!
