R: Reflection
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall....This theme is all about your doll's reflection looking back at him/her in some way. You can include a reflection into your photo in multiple ways: From your doll applying makeup at her mirrored vanity, to him checking out his own reflection in his car's rearview mirror. Wanting to consider less traditional means than a mirror? Think reflective surfaces such as windows, bodies of water, and even sunglasses. Finally, you may also use photography/editing effects to create the illusion of mirror image photography.
For this theme, I felt driven to make a statement about how young girls are forced more and more these days to judge themselves based on beauty and body image. They are everywhere surrounded by images bombarding them with what they should look like; Instagram, Photoshop, Facebook, Snapchat. Younger and younger girls are exhibiting themselves to the world to be admired. And many more are hating themselves for not reaching the standards of beauty they see around them leading to wretchedness and misery, self harm and self destruction. The reflection they see in the mirror is never good enough.

Wishing you all a nice relaxing Sunday!!

Any proprietor who has leased this building in our little village, has never succeeded. Some say the place is haunted, some say it's cursed. It stands vacant and I someday hope to make it my studio :)

This is the view onto Frankfurt from the West Harbour. It is a more unusal view here. The strong blue light right of the center of the image are some ambulances down at the Main River. Somebody might have been falling into the water maybe. They have been there very long. I hope that guy is did okay.
Have a great start into the week everyone.
I'll catch up to your streams tonight.
I miss the sunny weather now. Hope we can have a good one soon.
Have a good weekend!

The Fatih Mosque (Turkish: Fatih Camii, "Conqueror's Mosque" in English) is an Ottoman mosque in the Fatih district of Istanbul, Turkey. The original mosque on the site was constructed between 1463 and 1470 on the site of the Church of the Holy Apostles. It was seriously damaged in the 1766 earthquake and was rebuilt in 1771 to a different design. It is one of the largest examples of Turkish-Islamic architecture in Istanbul and represents an important stage in the development of classic Turkish architecture. It is named after Ottoman sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, known in Turkish as Fatih Sultan Mehmed, the Ottoman sultan who conquered Constantinople in 1453.

I keep asking myself why I take pictures. Why am I photographer? The truth is....I'm not sure. I've always liked creating things and being an introvert, photography was something I could do on my own.
I enjoy documenting the world around me and a lot of my photos are around my house because I just don't get out that often or I don't bring my camera with me enough when I do get out.
One of the best things about being a generalist in photography, I can shoot whatever I want which is great but it also means I'll never be really good one particular genre. I've never really been good at anything in life, photography has really been the only thing that people actually seem to like from me. That makes me happy and brings joy to my life when people enjoy my work.
As you may have noticed, I'm not as active on Flickr as I once was. Flickr has become a big time suck for me, I was spending hours and hours a day looking at other peoples photos and usually commenting on them but that was taking time away from me and It may sound selfish but I need time to work on me to become a better person and a better photographer. I also want to get back into making YouTube videos as well.
I don't know. I was Lightroom and I saw this photo of me being reflected in this hubcap and kind of had one of those self reflection moments about why I take pictures. I've been too hard on myself lately when it comes to photography. It's suppose to be a fun thing, I shouldn't stress out over it.
I realized that I focused so much on the numbers and that's not what photography is about.
So I want to have fun taking pictures again, I don't want to think about whether or not people will like this photo or not because in the end, it doesn't matter. I'm the only one who has to like it and if others don't, they that's fine too. I enjoy sharing my photos with the world because that one photo could make a difference in someone out there. It could put a smile on that one person that's having a real bad day. That's worth it to me.
If you read all of this, Thank you. Means a lot ot me.
