I'm back! Multiple issues with Flickr, now a lot of catching up to do......
#1/52 Creative Self Portrait, 52 weeks, the 2023 edition
Hello friends, I am trying to get to all your lovely photos, it is just taking me awhile as I keep getting booted offline...
Image taken on the 10th of May, 2021, Kew Gardens, London (ignore the Exif data). Please see my previous images and comments on this sculpture ("Leaf Spirit"). In this close-up it is a bit easier to detect the design principle of this work of art. The human face is composed of leaves (imprints or cutouts). The borders or limits of the face are 'fuzzy' and merge with the botanical live forms around it. I read this sculpture as an acknowledgment of a new perception of reality (in the West at least): the concept of the individualised and autonomous self has come to an end. Rather, the self is connected to everything around it. Our face is only a momentary surface expression of the history of life and cosmos. To express this, the sculptor used a term taken from animism and its spirit worlds. The Upanishads would also be capable of providing terminology for this new experience (such as 'Tat Tvam Asi').

Most of the time, I literally hate to take photos of myself, or even to be on photos in general. But last week, I convinced myself I had to try at least once a studio self portrait.....and this is the result..... Me, myself and I.
Ephesians 4:18 “For their [moral] understanding is darkened and their reasoning is clouded; [they are] alienated and self-banished from the life of God [with no share in it; this is] because of the [willful] ignorance and spiritual blindness that is [deep-seated] within them, because of the hardness and insensitivity of their heart.”
Took it a while back when I was in Japan. I was really excited about taking photos in the snow but it never snowed :(. More photos to come!
Bald Eagle standing in the the water, looking at its own reflection and possibly waiting for fish to pass by. It was the first time for me seeing a bald eagle almost half soaked.
Getting their feathers all wet is a big no-no for bald eagles, since they instantly loose their ability to fly, becoming prey for other predators.
Hi Flickr universe! Have not had much time to post here lately since I have been preoccupied with my new website and blog that I wrote about earlier in the summer:
It is getting less time consuming after initial website creation and set up, so I hope to get more time to post more on Flickr too soon. I do love the blog part of it as it gives me a chance to post more images from some particular outing in one post vs one image here on Flickr.
I hope everyone's summer is going well and you are taking your cameras everywhere and taking new exciting images. I have been exploring photographing butterflies with different lenses to see the differences and similarities. Hoping to write about it soon and post some pictures. Turned out I had no images of butterflies taken with my Pentacon 50 lens!!! I had to run out and correct that asap. ;-)
For now, this self portrait from yesterday I took on my phone. :-)
Till next time,
Diana
