a Hiking Day, 40 years ago.
From left to right: my father, myself, my mother, my grandmother.
Seemingly I was enjoying a popsicle they bought me.
It could be the Great Wall (Beijing, China), good season for hiking. Someone (could be my auntie or local paid photographer ) took the picture from lower angle.
Grand-mom used to live at Indonesia, she was visiting China for us, then the next year we left Beijing moving to Hong Kong.
They were, on peak of the place & time, looking forward to a far distant, from four decades ago.

Hard to believe that a little wasp could appear wisftul, but there it is.
Hey, I should write a kid's book -- "The Wistful Wasp."
I'm on it! Anybody able to illustrate?

Although the first sentence of Kant’s Prolegomena to All Future Metaphysics warns that it is intended not for pupils but for future teachers, the young Buber dared to read it and found in it a philosophical freedom that produced a profoundly quieting effect on him. Through it, he came to the view that space and time are not real properties that adhere to things in themselves but mere forms of our sensory perception, the formal conditions by which we grasp the world of phenomena.

Jeanne, under a cave, all grown up at last. Pensive, thoughtful, intelligent, looking back or looking forward.........all these things come to my mind when I wonder what was on Jeanne's mind. She was around 16 when this photo was taken. She had slept in a crib next to my bed. She wet the bed until she was ten and spoke in a strange language that only I knew till she was around six or so. Mom had given her to me after she was born and she grew up thinking I was her mother. She became my beloved sister, daughter and dearest friend. When she was killed in a car accident at the age of 25 I thought my world had ended. Not a day has gone by in the passing 30 years that I haven't missed her. She had grown up into a pollyanna-like person who saw no evil in any human.

Project 52, week 41: Kickin'. This week is the second week of the University of Twente's freshman introduction period, the Kick-In. Most of us are photographing the activities again, hence the theme.
This is the group photo we made the first day, and contains all new students. It featured on the front page of Break-In Magazine (2012 nr. 2), the Kick-In's daily newspaper.
A huge version of the same group can be found here.

Our charismatic driver cum guide, Murali Lal stopped in a roadside small shop during our trip from Shimla to Narkanda (?), India for breakfast. We (Hasan, Hillol) were quite amazed by the natural beauty of that place and was taking landscape shot while breakfast was preparing by the shop owner. Later, I found this kid playing in front of the shop and I joined with him. I found it interesting when the morning light was falling on him through the old tire.

So, is it best for us to look back or to look ahead? We would be wise to do a little of both: We need to look back for forgiveness, then look ahead to make progress. — Dave Branon
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
This has been a long week of attending an exhibition, being on my feet for extending hours, standing, being "up", and meeting lots of people, from all over the country and some beyond. It was tremendous fun, but I'm SO ready for the weekend.
This image was taken in the Everglades, on the Anhinga Trail specifically. It's a great place to see a wide variety of birds during the migration, breeding, and nesting seasons. For some reason, I just love it when there's a green heron hanging around. They are so beautiful to me at this time of year when they are in their mating colors, sometimes even doing their courtship dance, etc. This particular one was just standing there bathing in the gorgeous early morning light - looking out into its habitat and surroundings.
It kind of reminds me of myself at times ... just checking things out around me, looking for opportunities, and looking forward to the new day which is ahead of me. So with this image I wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
Will be traveling again today, back home, but will be catching up soon. Thanks for understanding.

I feel so important today and I wish I didn't.
Was I a little off key?
Day 67 - August 4th, 2009.
Last night, I think I finally figured out why I started 365.
Today, for the first time, I think I finally figured out where I want to go with it.
I want to grow with it.
I do not want to spend anymore time looking back.
I want this to be 365 days of hope, of looking forward.
365 days of recovery.
I am 18 years old. I know nothing about this big world.
Nothing.
My experiences and thoughts are limited, and the bottom line, the fact of the matter is that
I am 18. And that's it. That's all. Time to stop getting caught up with all these things that I think I know when the reality is that I know nothing.
Very few people actually know something, have you ever realized that?
I am going to beat this thing by day 365.
How the hell I'm going to do that, I have about as much of an idea as I know about this world.
I have 298 days to figure out the rest of it.
Or some of it.
But I have a feeling that continuing to take pictures is a good place to start.
And read more Tolstoy. That's a must.
Preparing for my appraisal tomorrow morning - I'm looking forward to it, and excited about the year ahead.
I've been on here just over a year, and I've achieved 35,000 hits - It's likely that near year at this time will bring close to 70,000, or perhaps 150,000. It all depends on me, and where I see myself.
Where do I see myself? I'm here because I wanted to be here, or because I needed to be here.
I've made friends on here, or at least people who I can talk to, and share a side of me that I don't share with everyone - Not most of my friends, not even with my family (immediate and extended.) - I know I can't hide who I am, who I'm trying to be, I don't even know who I want to be, but I'm trying to figure it out as I go along.
Still, I'm apparently interesting to some out there. I feel like I've got some big footsteps to fill. (But then, I have big feet. ^_^; ) - It's best that I forge my own path, but of course, include a lot of influences, from all aspects of my life.
I bet most of you out there don't even know, and probably don't even care, what I look like when the wig is back on the stand, the makeup is cleaned off, and the clothes are put away. Does it matter? Is who I am inside of it shining through, regardless of how I present myself?
Am I sincere? Am I honest? Am I real? Am I beautiful? Am I creative? Am I trying hard enough?
Time and circumstances will determine the eventual outcome.
For now, I will keep going, and perhaps, 5, 10 years down the road, my life will be back in order, and things will make more sense... And maybe... I'll get to meet some people out there.
Thanks again, for those who found me, those I've found - You're all important to me.
