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. ;)

“I don’t think I’ve ever been a part of the “popular” crowd; I don’t think I ever will be and I’m okay with that.” Eunice by Christine Wu (2/5)
We don't often think about it, but wherever we go, whatever we do, we are leaving behind a self-reflection for others to remember. May we leave a positive, beautiful reflection that is a testimony beautiful and positive and of good cheer.
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!! \ ^_^ /
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.
“Cacher is one of my on-going personal project which documents the literal and emotional space between my partner and I. Too often, I’ve experienced the strange mixture of intense desire to show my affection and equally an intense need not to show how I feel about her.“ Cacher by Thy Tran (¼)

This building in Manchester is on the approach to Manchester Piccadilly railway station, and snakes along the road. It has shops at ground level and this uniform structure above. Notable among the shops is the Ian Allan bookshop.
The building is curved enough that it can be made to reflect on itself. That appeals to me.
BUBBLES
Mary the Faerie....................
Mary the Faerie loves bubbles. She believes that every time a bubble bursts a fairy appears and if all the world leaders blew bubbles together the world would be a very different place.
here is my friend mary ..........
Oh well. It's been a lot of time since I uploaded something :) I've actually decided to learn how to use both my Eos 400D (and I also gave her a cute name: Giuditta) and Gimp. This is my first attempt, so please don't be too rough with me! Of course, suggestions are more than welcome.
I got inspired by holly.skye's pic and I really hope she will like mine enough to get it into her project, even though it's not a really good work. Well, there is room for improvement!
Change: this is a time of my life when everything seems to change very quickly. The 'big thing' is that I'm moving in with my boyfriend in a few weeks. So nervous, and so happy :)
Next door, Emily and Elizabeth had retired upstairs. Luckily for them, Bobby had made sure the women had a decent bed and large enough covers.
What Bobby couldn’t plan for, however, was the changing weather and that Elizabeth didn’t seem sleepy.
“Baby sister,” Emily spoke, her face barely visible above the covers as she tried to stay warm. “Could you please turn out the light?”
“I just realized that I’m reading, like, I’m really reading. I haven’t reread the same page four times to make sense of what it says. I didn’t know I could still do that!” Elizabeth marveled.
“I don’t know how you get anything outside of childcare accomplished at your house,” Emily observed.
“I don’t know how I do either,” Elizabeth reflected, astonished she had just said that. Did she really feel that way?
To be continued later this week... ;)
Going for a slightly cyber punk feel for this one.
