Have you ever gone to a funeral and spent the ENTIRE TIME wondering how it would be different if it was yours?
A self portrait in sun (through a window and some blinds).
Taken through the ground glass of my Yashica A, using the closeup lense on the Yashica and the EF-S 60 Macro lens on the 40D at 1600 ISO.
"Be a winner--learn to release nervous tension by transforming spare time into constructive effort."
Or release the nervous tension by obsessive masturbation. Either works. So grows the tree from the bent twig.

From a series of circa-1960s D.I.Y. books called "Easi-Bild" that were published by a fellow named Donald Brann. In the beginning of each one, he wrote a little homily that tried to link up his own Confucius-like wisdom with whatever Easy Bild project was at hand.
So there would be a couple of paragraphs where he waxed poetic about some general concept essential to the good life, and then there would be a paragraph where he'd try to make you think you'd never done better by yourself than you did the moment you decided, say, to purchase the Easy Bild book on building a plywood bar in your basement.
A tragically overlooked 20th-century Thoreau was Mr. Brann.

It is hard to grasp that deep meaning in your eyes....for once i want to get a shot like this famous one in the National Geographic of the "Afghan Girl"

Not content with a mere gaze
I fear I must take in hand what I know will scar me
Elucidations no matter how forthcoming defy all logic and rather than relent I grasp even tighter.....
In all honesty, I really thought about putting up my friends pic for this day as they took me out for a late birthday party all night long. We had a fantastic time, but the colors and content in this photo just keep me coming back, so it won in the end. And there is a star/planet at the very top of the picture, not sure what it is, but I plan to figure it out. I think its Mars?

This is a scary bridge.
No… It’s not falling apart or poorly built. It doesn’t cross any huge valleys or anything. It doesn’t really cross anything except a low point in the ground….
The reason it’s so scary?
There’s no clear path on the other side. There’s a great path leading to the bridge… I followed it- stayed right on it….
But as I was crossing the bridge, I started to want to turn back. I couldn’t tell where I’d be going if I crossed. I got a bit scared.
I tend to do that a lot. I’m comfortable when I have a clear path. I know where I’m going. I can see ahead and it all looks fine.
But what to do when the path ahead is uncertain?
Turn around? Stay where everything feels safe? Or go ahead and cross and journey out into the unknown…?
This bridge I did cross. I wandered around on the other side for a bit, and I realized it wasn’t as scary as it looked. It was actually kinda cool on the other side!
Now I need to remember this bridge when I come to those other bridges in life… the ones with no clear path on the other side… I could just hang out on the side I’m used to… But I think I’d rather go exploring… You never know what’s out there if you don’t cross.
