I felt stuck in a rut this morning with no ideas and a lack of creativity. I saw the reflections as I drove by and decided to stop. The color version below was too close to another image i did earlier in this project so i gave this a vintage feel. I guess that could be interpreted as things can seem the same as before but we have the power to change them with a little work

Oooh, I got a package today, from Kewty-Pie! Wow wow, lots of treasures!
I peeked in the box and took this on the way home from the post office!
I have been reviewing some Vietnam scans and came on this one which I never bothered with before because it was kind of ordinary. Until I realized it might be an accidental selfie. (A word that did not exist in 1967) If you look closely at the very right of the frame you can see me, reflected in the window.

I couldnt possibly post all the shots from the party, loads of drunk teachers acting drunk. Soz.
The door that I saw my reflection in was double paned, so I couldn't get any sharper image!
Took in front of new Irving K. Barber Library at UBC.
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. ;)

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above, or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face, and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face, and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
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!! \ ^_^ /
