Trying to understand and keep me...me and not others reflections of me. Need to work on the lighting next.
More Blog-style updates.
Staff are back at Uni (Uni of Chichester) and the studios are open! I can now dance with the open space and train properly, ready for next semester! So here's some acro/capoeira practice shots.
Every Grain of Sand
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake,
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer.
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name.
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
- Bob Dylan
"There is an art of reading, as well as an art of thinking, and an art of writing."
Isaac D'Israeli
"There is no royal road to geometry."
(μή εἶναι βασιλικήν ἀτραπόν ἐπί γεωμετρίαν)
[Non est regia [inquit Euclides] ad Geometriam via]
– Reply given when the ruler Ptolemy I Soter asked Euclid if there was a shorter road to learning geometry than through Euclid's Elements.
"It seems that the ancient philosophers made the first attempts at this sort of science, in looking for metaphysical relationships between numbers and material bodies. When they said that God occupies himself with geometry, they surely meant that He unites in that science the works of His power with the perspectives of His wisdom."
– Pierre Louis Maupertuis, "Accord de différentes loix de la nature qui avoient jusqu’ici paru incompatibles" (1744).
I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
From Song of Myself By Walt Whitman
Here's a self reflective product shot for you :-) This is the Samsung EX1 used to take the previous few posts, a great little 'enthusiast compact'. Taken with my trusty Pentax K20D DSLR

“My inability to verbalize my feelings has transformed itself into a visual dialogue between my lover and me: I crave for a wordless understanding simply because I am afraid. I don’t want to clear thing out too much when there will be a possibility that my lover might fail to decipher my unspoken message. I find my self caught up in this inescapable paradoxical: I try to hide the passion from her, (the word Cacher = to hide in French) but the act of documenting heavily our daily private lives and spaces, her body and mine, is an act of opening up myself to vulnerability. I suppressed my feelings but my photographs release it.” Cacher by Thy Tran (2/4)

The title says it all...plus there are 4-6 actual reflections in the water droplets. Taken in my yard while trying to familiarize myself with my new camera a Canon 50D. After 3 1/2 years of hard use my 20D had its first serious problem a shutter issue and is being repaired the problem is....i am leaving on a trip next week and had to have something to take. I had hoped to hold out until i could afford a 5D mk II.....but the 50D is a nice camera and hopefully my 20D will be able to be used as a secondary camera.
This "dark" picture shows an artist who reflects herself.
When I look at pictures created by an artist
I can see in what kind of things he is interested in.
Interested is another word for attention.
Normally the mind does not reflect about its bondages.
But few people want to find out what is happening to them.
Analysing pictures reveal the subconscious.
The secrets of the psyche can be descovered.
Who am I?
If this is your question you may look at your own pictures.
What kind of subjects do they show?
Outside world
Outside world (family – friends - animals)
Outside world but you
Outside world as a mirror of your mood… (this is the border to the inside world.
The inside world is the psyche with many facettes.
Some will be presented later.
The result may be:

Die Kunst spiegelt, womit die Psyche sich beschäftigt.
Diese Beschäftigung ist meistens unbewusst.
Das Wissen um die jeweils momentane geistige Verfassung erlaubt es, in die seelische Tiefe zu gehen und die Gründe aufzudecken.
Sind die Gründe bekannt, kann die Aufmerksamkeit befreit werden.
Die Lebensenergie kann in andere - in diesem Fall in hellere - Beschäftigungen fließen.
