I meant to take something really creative and introspective for today, my 50th day. But, alas, I was working on day two alone with both boys. And it was diaper laundry day. And suddenly it was 11:00pm and I hadn't snapped a picture yet. Then the dryer buzzer went off. And there you have it.
That's right, random people viewing this picture. We cloth diaper. No. It's not gross. No. It's not a lot of extra work. No. They don't leak everywhere. (In fact, they're better with leaks than the most expensive disposables we were previously using with big brother.) We use a mix of pockets (brand Fuzzi Bunz) and fitteds (Goodmamas, Mutts and SOS) with covers (Thirsties). Beyond the fact that they're reusable and thus not filling up a landfill...
dang they're so much cuter!

Charles Leplae, (Leuven, 1903 - Uccle, 1961), was a Belgian sculptor and draftsman. Experimented initially in an expressionist style, but evolved towards a more traditional view. He often sculpted female nudes, which he regularly imparted a reserved, thoughtful, introspective attitude. He was also a known medalist. Hoping to restore the true meaning and character of the art of medal making, he went back to ancient techniques by engraving the patterns directly into the metal of the matrix with a chisel.

Experimenteerde aanvankelijk in een expressionistische stijl, maar evolueerde naar een meer traditionele opvatting. Hij beeldhouwde vaak vrouwelijke naakten, die hij regelmatig een gereserveerde, peinzende, introspectieve attitude toedeelde. Hij was ook een gekend medailleur. In de hoop de ware betekenis en het karakter te herstellen van de kunst van het maken van medailles, ging hij terug naar oude technieken door de patronen rechtstreeks met een beitel in het metaal van de matrix te graveren.

Keanu Reeves (1964) is a Canadian actor, producer, director and musician. Though Reeves often faced criticism for his deadpan delivery and perceived limited range as an actor, he nonetheless took on roles in a variety of genres, doing everything from introspective art-house fare to action-packed thrillers. His films include My Own Private Idaho (1991), the European drama Little Buddha (1993), Speed (1994), The Matrix (1999) and John Wick (2014).
Keanu Charles Reeves was born in 1964, in Beirut, Lebanon. His first name means ‘cool breeze over the mountains’ in Hawaiian. His father, Samuel Nowlin Reeves, Jr., was a geologist of Chinese-Hawaiian heritage, and his mother, Patricia Bond (née Taylor), was a British showgirl and later a costume designer for rock stars such as Alice Cooper. Reeves's mother was working in Beirut when she met his father. Upon his parents’ split in 1966, Keanu moved with his mother and younger sister Kim Reeves to Sydney, to New York and then to Toronto. As a child, he lived with various stepfathers, including stage and film director Paul Aaron. Keanu developed an ardor for hockey, though he would eventually turn to acting. At 15, he played Mercutio in a stage production of Romeo and Juliet at the Leah Posluns Theatre. Reeves dropped out of high school when he was 17. His film debut was the Canadian feature One Step Away (Robert Fortier, 1985). After a part in the teen movie Youngblood (Peter Markle, 1986), starring Rob Lowe, he obtained a green card through stepfather Paul Aaron and moved to Los Angeles. After a few minor roles, he gained attention for his performance in the dark drama River's Edge (Tim Hunter, 1986), which depicted how a murder affected a group of adolescents. Reeves landed a supporting role in the Oscar-nominated period drama Dangerous Liaisons (Stephen Frears, 1988), starring Glenn Close and John Malkovich. Reeves joined the casts of Ron Howard's comedy Parenthood (1989), and Lawrence Kasdan's I Love You to Death (1990). Unexpectedly successful was the wacky comedy Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (Stephen Herek, 1989) which followed two high school students (Reeves and Alex Winter) and their time-traveling high jinks. The success lead to a TV series and a sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (Pete Hewitt, 1991). From then on, audiences often confused Reeves's real-life persona with that of his doofy on-screen counterpart.
In the following years, Keanu Reeves tried to shake the Ted stigma. He developed an eclectic film roster that included high-budget action films like the surf thriller Point Break (Kathryn Bigelow, 1991) for which he won MTV's ‘Most Desirable Male’ award in 1992, but also lower-budget art-house films. My Own Private Idaho (1991), directed by Gus Van Sant and co-starring River Phoenix, chronicled the lives of two young hustlers living on the streets. In Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), Reeves embodied the calm resolute lawyer Jonathan Harker who stumbles into the lair of Gary Oldman’s Count Dracula. In Europe, he played prince Siddharta who becomes the Buddha in Bernardo Bertolucci’s Italian-French-British drama Little Buddha (1993). His career reached a new high when he starred opposite Sandra Bullock in the hit action film Speed (Jan de Bont, 1994). It was followed by the romantic drama A Walk in the Clouds (Alfonso Arau, 1995) and the supernatural thriller Devil’s Advocate (Taylor Hackford, 1997), co-starring Al Pacino and Charlize Theron. At the close of the decade, Reeves starred in a Sci-fi film that would become a genre game changer, The Matrix (Andy and Lana Wachowski, 1999). Reeves played the prophetic figure Neo, slated to lead humanity to freedom from an all-consuming simulated world. Known for its innovative fight sequences, avant-garde special effects and gorgeous fashion, The Matrix was an international hit. Two sequels, The Matrix Reloaded (Andy and Lana Wachowski, 1999) and The Matrix Revolutions (Andy and Lana Wachowski, 1999) followed and The Matrix Reloaded was even a bigger financial blockbuster than its predecessor.
Now a major, bonafide box office star, Keanu Reeves continued to work in different genres and both in bid-budget as in small independent films. He played an abusive man in the supernatural thriller The Gift (Sam Raimi, 2000), starring Cate Blanchett, a smitten doctor in the romantic comedy Something’s Gotta Give (Nancy Meyers, 2003) opposite Diane Keaton, and a Brit demon hunter in American-German occult detective action film Constantine (Francis Lawrence, 2005). His appearance in the animated science fiction thriller A Scanner Darkly (Richard Linklater, 2006), based on the novel by Philip K. Dick, received favourable reviews, and The Lake House (Alejandro Agresti, 2006) , his romantic outing with Sandra Bullock, was a success at the box office. Reeves returned to Sci-fi as alien Klaatu in The Day the Earth Stood Still (Scott Derrickson, 2008), the remake of the 1951 classic. Then he played a supporting part in Rebecca Miller's The Private Life of Pippa Lee (2009), which starred Robin Wright and premiered at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival. Reeves co-founded a production company, Company Films. The company helped produce Henry's Crime (Malcolm Venville, 2010), in which Reeves also starred. The actor made his directorial debut with the Chinese-American Martial arts film Man of Tai Chi (2013), partly inspired by the life of Reeves' friend, stuntman Tiger Chen. Martial arts–based themes continued in Reeves's next feature, 47 Ronin (Carl Rinsch, 2013), about a real-life group of masterless samurai in 18th-century Japan who avenged the death of their lord. Variety magazine listed 47 Ronin as one of "Hollywood's biggest box office bombs of 2013". Reeves returned as a retired hitman in the neo-noir action thriller John Wick (Chad Stahelski, David Leitch, 2014). The film opened to positive reviews and performed well at the box office. A sequel, titled John Wick: Chapter Two, is currently in production and is scheduled to be released in 2017. This year, he could be seen in the psychological horror film The Neon Demon is (Nicolas Winding Refn, 2016) and the romantic horror-thriller Bad Batch (Ana Lily Amirpour, 2016). Reeves’ artistic aspirations are not limited to film. In the early 1990s, he co-founded the grunge band Dogstar, which released two albums. He later played bass for a band called Becky. Reeves is also a longtime motorcycle enthusiast. After asking designer Gard Hollinger to create a custom-built bike for him, the two went into business together with the formation of Arch Motorcycle Company LLC in 2011. Reported to be one of the more generous actors in Hollywood, Reeves helped care for his sister during her lengthy battle with leukemia, and has supported such organizations as Stand Up To Cancer and PETA. In January 2000, Reeves's girlfriend, Jennifer Syme, gave birth eight months into her pregnancy to Ava Archer Syme-Reeves, who was stillborn. The strain put on their relationship by their grief resulted in Reeves and Syme's breakup several weeks later. In 2001, Syme died after a car accident.

I swear, these are the last :P
Black White.
Up Down.
Left Right.
East West.
Call them as you want.
Here are my opposite poles.
my self-portraits feel so different this year - introspective, shot while very connected to myself; rather than last year's dares to others.
What an incredibly introspective week it's been.
I've been busy doing some 'housecleaning.'
'Housecleaning of the soul' that is.
Life's been a whole lotta crazy in the last few years.
I guess I really didn't know how crazy it's been because I was kinda busy livin' it.
Reacting to it.
I stepped back in the last week and took a good hard look at how things were going.
I'll tell you what...
I feel really good right now.
There was a little business I hadda do with my soul and I did just that.
Body and soul have come to an agreement.
They're on the same page.
The craziness is gone.
The cause of all of that is far behind me and it has become irrelevant.
Yeah...
I've seen some things I wish I could 'unsee.'
But fuck it.
It ain't a problem no more.
I can only describe the last few weeks ago as spitting up a 'psychic hairball.'
That's about it.
You know how the cat makes those strange noises and does those convulsions?
You know it's gotta feel good to get rid of that hairball.
Really good.
It doesn't look too pleasant..
And it's probably not...
but you know the cat is feelin' good when that hairball is gone.
There was a 'hairball' in my life that's gone now.
And I can't tell you just how good that feels.
I didn't know what to do with myself right after all that passed I guess.
I'd been dealing with it for so long.
It had become a way of life.
It really consumed so much time and energy.
The 'hairball' is gone.
Not a problem anymore.
I spent the last week looking inward and asking myself a lot of questions.
How do I want to live?
What strategies will I implement to move towards making my dreams come true?
The energy that I put into that has paid off.
I feel like a freakin' new man.
I'm telling you it's that good.
It's time to make things happen instead of reacting to things that happen.
I feel really proactive.
My focus has returned.
My memory is sharpening.
The crazy dreams are all gone.
I've still got some work to do...
who doesn't?
But the foundation's been laid.
I want that sailboat.
I've got a plan and it's going to work.
A little more time and I'll hit the streets again.
I've missed them.
There's so much more I want to do.
And I want to do it better.
My soul stands strong.
My dreams are within sight.
I do believe it's time to set sail.
An introspective picture of an introspective gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), or at least one hiding from the big man with the tripod a few yards away. A tortoise trying to hide from the scary world around it in plain sight can, if you rationalize it right, serve as an excellent metaphor for the human condition. The photo was taken at Paynes Creek State Historical Preserve in Florida.
It was originally shot in color (I shoot everything in color) but I couldn't get the mood right with color, so I switched to b&w. I liked the mood that came out in b&w, but I didn't like the tone. Just before I decided I was being way to picky, I added a slight sepia tone and it all came together. Editing done in Adobe Photoshop CS5.
She looks like a boxer meditating before a match here. Definitely one of my favorites of the shoot. I'm really glad I got was I looking for in this one.
I used some duvatine (sp?) wrapped around a 500W photoflood to create a stylized spot/glorified snoot. I also put a rotary speed knob in-line used as a dimmer. It is placed directly above the subject. The light kept smoking the duv so I had to work fast.

Taken on a small island in northern Fiji. After greeting us with smiles and laughter he withdraw from the group around the corner to his house where he became introspective.
I did a shoot with this man the other day for a last minute assignment. He is an amazing wood carver around the corner from our school. I asked him for some of his time and he was happy to help.

I have been working on some new samples featuring characters from the world of Disney. Here is my pencil sketch of Pocahontas.
I aimed to capture the character's beauty, spirit, and introspective qualities.
Hayashi Fumiko was a prominent Japanese writer known for her poignant and introspective novels and short stories, often focusing on the struggles and experiences of women in early 20th-century Japan. Born in 1903 in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Fumiko faced hardships from a young age, including poverty and the early death of her parents. Despite these challenges, she pursued her passion for writing and published her first novel, "Horoki" (Diary of a Vagabond), in 1930, which brought her literary acclaim. Throughout her career, Fumiko wrote extensively about the lives of women, addressing themes such as love, loss, and societal expectations with empathy and nuance.
The Hayashi Fumiko Memorial Hall, located in Tokyo, is dedicated to preserving the legacy of this influential author. The memorial hall showcases exhibits about Fumiko's life and works, including personal belongings, manuscripts, and photographs. Visitors can learn about the author's life story, her literary achievements, and the historical context in which she lived and wrote. The memorial hall also hosts events, lectures, and readings to promote awareness and appreciation of Fumiko's contributions to Japanese literature. It serves as a cultural landmark honoring Fumiko's enduring impact on literature and her portrayal of the human condition with depth and sensitivity.

Sternberg Palace (Prague): The stern, formal, reserved face of an elderly man with an introspective look depicts an ecclestiastical father and author of the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible. The saint lacks his usual attributres, except for a purple cloak and nimbus around his head. His unique facial features suggest that the figure is a high church dignitary.
