What left of sunset at Templo de Debod (Temple of Debod). This temple is dedicated to gods Amun and Isis, and the temple contains a series of chapels.
Self portrait taken inside Blue Moon Camera and Machine with my Pentax K1000. I've been holding on to this image for some months, waiting for the time that it might relieve a self portrait drought.
And also, waiting for a time when it might have some relevance to the events in my life. I've been taking photos since I was about twelve years old - the first camera I ever used consistently was my mom's little 110, and the first book I ever read on photography was put out by the 4-H organization. I had books of photos before I was a teenager, ribbons for them at the county fair, even an award at state fair. But never did I put much stock into myself as a 'real' photographer. It was a hobby for me. Veterinary medicine, on the other hand, was my profession. Photography didn't even take second - I reserved writing as my backup career, meaning my work with a camera took a distant third. And yet, I persisted, because I so thoroughly enjoyed it.
I am a person who downplays my accomplishments. I have always been such a person. But I will take a moment here to say something - yes, I am proud of what I have done and what I continue to do with a camera. I may never be completely satisfied with my work (who is? satisfaction is an endless pursuit that has its purpose... it keeps us driven), but I am confident enough in it to say that, yes, I am pleased with my own progress in the field of photography. My vision is only one of millions, but it is mine alone, and I am proud of it.
There is more to this excerpt. But you'll have to wait until the 25th to discover what that 'more' is. ;)
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is an all-electric SUV. This one was covered in a silver coating that looks a little bumpy.
This is a self-portrait from a few years back when I was photographing an old Cotton Gin. I found myself gazing across the landscape.
Why is it that we find self reflection easier when we are gazing across farm land? Does it reflect on our ancestral background? Or does it reflect upon a simpler life, allowing for easier self reflection?
You may notice the ghostly appeal of this photograph. Partial credit goes to my choice of using infrared photography and the other are choices in my exposure and timing.
Location: central Arkansas.

Self Reflection for Me Again Monday.
I've missed MAM the past couple of weeks ...hey I better get used to that pretty soon!
This is a phone pic/selfie in the mirror of a Vespa ^_^
I thought I would just use this shot as I know taking a 'real' selfie tomorrow just wouldn't happen.
HMAM!! \ ^_^ /
This long exposure light painting is meant to show the warm and cold that we all have inside. The battles between them. The light and the dark.
Light source is the Dorcy 520 LUMEN LED RECHARGEABLE FLASHLIGHT with colored gels.

Day 186 Year 2 There you go again, facing the world beneath it all. Always struggling to get out and still trapped looking up and away.
This shot is SOOC. Again, too pressed to do much else but I like it.
For the FGR theme
Currently #297 in Explore. Thanks everyone.
I'm back from a week away from Paris, so i've got lots of catching up to do and lots of photos to upload (when I have the time!).
In the mean time, i've been inspired by the self portraits of Vivian Maier so thought i'd take some while out photographing other subjects. So here's the first, a double reflection taken at a hair dressers in London a couple of weeks ago.
