This be mah photo for the "beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves" collaboration with Cynthia, Gurbir, and Gillian (click the links to see their photos) (go NOW) (NOWWW). I don't actually remember a whole lot about the origin of the collab; it just kind of came out of a really late google+ chat and some Florence lyrics...oh my gosh seriously go to their streams. Right now.
Aaanyways, this is obviously for the 'thieves' portion. I was originally going to steal my friend's cats for stream cameos, but I think identity theft is so interesting because it's such a passive aggressive form of thievery, but potentially one of the most harmful. Also not to mention the additional amount of paranoia gained by victims of all thievery...thieves just suck, bro. Don't become one.
OH I almost forgot to thank my friend Alexa, who accidentally but voluntarily became my assistant for this shoot (or chauffeur, I guess; parking was sort of a big issue...). Thank you, Lex; you were a lifesaver!!!
Hopefully I'll still obtain the cats, though. Cats are one of those things you can't dangle and then deprive people of :)
Spring is having an identity crisis, I woke up to 4 inches of snow this morning and it's still snowing like it's January here... expecting another 2-4 inches today and who knows for tomorrow but good news... Weds it's supposed to be 54 degrees out so it will melt quickly...

'Trinity', for me, was a way to represent the different rolls and identities that we need to keep balanced in order to live a harmonious life. This work is composed of three consecutive photos of the same person, thus trinity, while turning to the viewers left. The figures where combined using the app superimpose. A screen blend mode was applied with the opacity lowered gradually for each figure. The backgrounds were removed in the 2nd and 3rd photos for a more seemless blending into the background of the first photo. From there I took the piece into icolorama where the figures were simplified which because of their different transparencies made them look somewhat distorted yet balanced using a monochromatic coloring. Different styles and textures were then masked on. Snapseed supplied the final touches.

Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
.
Originally Lahore Stadium, the facility was renamed in 1974 in honour of the former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi following a speech he gave at the 2nd Organisation of the Islamic Conference meeting in Lahore in favour of Pakistan's right to pursue nuclear weapons. The stadium houses the headquarters of the Pakistan Cricket Board.
In 1995–96, the Gaddafi Stadium was renovated by architect Nayyar Ali Dada for the 1996 Cricket World Cup. Dada's redesign was done in the Mughal style, with red, hand-laid brickwork and arches. Dada also had plastic seating installed in place of the existing concrete benches. The lower portion under the stands was enclosed and converted to shops for boutiques and offices. Gaddafi Stadium was the first in Pakistan to be equipped with modern floodlights having their own standby power generators. On 23 October 2011 the Pakistan Cricket Board discussed renaming the stadium following the death of Gaddafi, to support NTC and Libya. The Punjab Olympic Association made a similar request in late October 2011 to the provincial chief minister, telling Cricinfo:, "I don't think his profile is inspirational enough to link with our cricket stadium's identity." As of April 2012, however, it does not appear that the stadium's name will be changed after all.
Pakistan has enjoyed some memorable moments on the ground, including a fifth-wicket stand of 281 between Javed Miandad and Asif Iqbal against New Zealand in 1976 and an innings and 324 run win against New Zealand in 2002. The stadium hosted the final of the 1996 World Cup, which was watched by over 60,000 spectators. However, despite the impressive capacity, the ground is often sparsely attended for Test matches, with sometimes as few as 1000 fans turning up. One-day internationals are more popular and crowds in excess of 20,000 are common.
On 3 March 2009, the scheduled third day of second Test of 2008–09 Sri Lanka tour of Pakistan, the Sri Lankan team's convoy was attacked by armed militants at Liberty Roundabout, near Gaddafi stadium. Eight Sri Lankan players were injured, including Sri Lankan captain, Mahela Jayawardene. The Sri Lankan team was air-lifted from Gaddafi Stadium to a nearby airbase, from where they were evacuated back to Sri Lanka.

Mistaken identity is a defense in criminal law which claims the actual innocence of the criminal defendant, and attempts to undermine evidence of guilt by asserting that any eyewitness to the crime incorrectly thought that they saw the defendant, when in fact the person seen by the witness was someone else. The defendant may question both the memory of the witness (suggesting, for example, that the identification is the result of a false memory), and the perception of the witness (suggesting, for example, that the witness had poor eyesight, or that the crime occurred in a poorly lit place).
Because the prosecution in a criminal case must prove the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt, the defendant must convince the jury that there is reasonable doubt about whether the witness actually saw what the witness claims to have seen, or recalls having seen. Although scientific studies have shown that mistaken identity is a common phenomenon, jurors give very strong credence to eyewitness testimony, particularly where the eyewitness is resolute in believing that their identification of the defendant was correct.

It's great to see individuals express their individuality and identity within a subculture through fashion.
A subculture is a group of people that differentiate themselves through their own norms and values while keeping a number of the parent culture's principles.

Zen Mind
Zen mind is the "Natural" state of our beings: No self, no identity, no memes, no beliefs.
Any idea of "what is" takes us away from what is - to be in the moment, all ideas need to be gone. There's not even an "I" to have the ideas.
The natural being acts as an outcome of the movement of the universe, in the same way that an artist's brush is moved by its "universe".
All "teachings", "spiritual" paths or "sacred" practices actually take us away from the moment, because it needs an "I" to do them, with an agenda of some kind, something to gain. All of which removes our beingness from the identity-free moment.
The only way that "what is" can be experienced is to lose all traces of self, in which case the "what is" can't be experienced because there is no one there to experience it.
Any description of the state of the natural mind is false, including this one. "It" cannot be described. "It" is always "bigger" than the limiting description.
There is not even an "ultimate" state to gain, because the very idea that there is, takes us away from it.
All there is, is the operation of the universe in its all-ness. There's no such thing as "enlightened" or "unenlightened". These are just ideas of what is.
Even "bliss" or "transcendence" is a state of mind that needs an "I" to experience those feelings.
Thoughts are the glue of our belief structures. "I" is the creation of thoughts and beliefs.
What's happening, when we think we are functioning human beings, is the operating system of the brain, running sophisticated meme/belief structures that create the content of our identities and sense of self.
The only act awareness can "do" is to let go of "self" awareness. Awareness, to be fully there, needs to have no "I" attached to it.
Where there was self, there is now "active" emptiness.
Action, from this place, is an instantaneous, pure response to the call of the moment. It is the moment, the universe acting, not the person.
True peace is an absence of agitation, an absence of self-generated internal activity. So peace cannot be "done", or created - it's an absence of doing. This allows unadulterated "what-is" to be.
All action out of this state is completely harmonious and non-conflicting. There is nothing there to conflict with anything else.
A transcended being feels the world cleanly, whereas an "I", full of beliefs and ideas of self, overlays those unadulterated feelings with external content, imbuing them with emotional "charge". This charge is reactive to the world around it, continually creating conflict as it attempts to dissipate.
Whatever is actual or real can only be there when all ideas, all thoughts, all belief, all traces of identity are gone - when there is no "I" left to take us out of the moment. If the eternal now moment is all there is, this may be the only way to be in it.
Thought is only necessary, only of any use, when it is called for by the moment, for a particular task. To keep thinking beyond the particular call of the moment is the same as keeping your arm above your head all the time, or hopping on one leg all the time.
What comes out of the moment relates only to that moment. It's already past and nonexistent as it is experienced. To hold to anything experienced or said in that moment, is to live in the dead past.
If you can't touch it, show it, taste it, does it have any reality?

Bear with me for a few thoughts. Or, don't.
Photography, as with any creative pursuit, is a form of personal expression. And expression helps to define one's identity.
This image helps to define me. Any image that you post... will help to define you. Even an image posted without a title, without a description, will help me to define you. Who you may be, or strive to be. Who you've been. There are so many decisions that go into the creation of a photograph, decisions that describe you. The subjects you choose, the angles you find, the perspectives you search for, the light you seek, the processing you use. In this way, I start to learn which places you like to go, which activities you pursue, how you go about pursuing them, and most importantly, how you see the world. Are you a dreamer, or a realist? An optimist, a pessimist? Are you moody, lonely, in love? Some photographs may only form a sentence about you. Others form entire chapters. And some only leave questions, but even the questions are informative, in describing you.
Add in words, and your complexity increases. A simple title can speak volumes - your choice of that. Do you quote authors, poems, songs? Do your tags round out the image? And your description - of course, that can contain multitudes. Or it may say less than the image itself. It may even contradict the image, and that's alright as well. The most important things I may learn from you, and you from me, are not necessarily found in the words you choose to describe an image, but rather in the form of the image itself. Your words may lie, they may paint a prettier scene than what exists, or a darker scene. But your image, that photograph you share, with me, with all of us - there is a secret language there.
It is even possible, over time, for a person's images to inspire more than a simple mutual understanding. It is possible for photography to inspire love. Is that so far-fetched, really? If you pay close enough attention, you may learn much of a person through their creative expression - their voice, their views on the world, their dreams and heart. It's an ideal, of course, and we all exist in many forms outside of ideal, but the foundation of that is solid enough, real enough, and if given the chance, ever-lasting.
So I say to you - I may not know all of you, out there, very well. But through your photography, I learn a little more about you every day. With or without words, your images speak, your images make an impact. Sometimes they are uplifting. Sometimes they are wounding. They are reflections of your character, your aspirations, your fears, your past and present. They reveal you, whether or not you intend them to. Be honest and careful with your heart, for it will show in your images, and you will attract those who admire you for it. Be inspired, and look for inspiration in others. Find echoes of yourself in the art of others, let those images move you, and then move others to do the same.
And this image... this image was taken along the trail up Dog Mountain. I could tell you what it says about me, but that would defeat the purpose of this little essay.

"BEGIN AGAIN"
A meditation on identity. When we take away our veil, our mask, the thing we hide behind - who are we? How do we find that person under the layers of identity others put on us?
This series asks these questions, and I hope you find an answer creeping up in you as you view them. I hope you enjoy the journey of looking at all these images - 11 in total. They are hanging in the JoAnne Artman Gallery in NYC through mid-August.
Let me know which one resonates with you most!
MASQUERADE: DISCOVER YOUR OTHER.
Young people from GYRO have responded to the Keith Haring exhibition through interactive workshops.
The work presented in Tate Exchange explores the various ways that young LGBTQ+ people express themselves. The young people wanted to share that their LGBTQ+ identities are very important to them and that they do not exist in isolation from the rest of their identity.
Visitors to Tate Exchange will be encouraged to explore their own identities through a series of activities.

Interesting images, but I didn't know what LGBTQ+ stood for.
So "Google" provided the answer:
People often use LGBTQ+ to mean all of the communities included in the “LGBTTTQQIAA”:
Lesbian
Gay
Bisexual
Transgender
Transsexual
2/Two-Spirit
Queer
Questioning
Intersex
Asexual
Ally
+ Pansexual
+ Agender
+ Gender Queer
+ Bigender
+ Gender Variant
+ Pangender
LGBTQ is the more commonly used term in the community; possibly because it is more user friendly --------------- your not joking there.
----------- And I thought we were all just people, turns out to be a whole lot more complicated.
I wonder why people want to be classified at all? What's wrong with just being you ?
Well I guess that these days everybody has a right to be whatever they want to be; but I can see it creating all sorts of problems that we as a society may not want to face.
