A along exposure, panning, AND glass reflection shot. This one had several very distracting "squiggly snake" lines of light that scream "panning"... so I removed them.
Day 59.
Another self reflection.
I actually give myself a small reflection everyday, asking myself what I am doing, keeping myself grounded: How is this freelance job going to help me? Where will this part-time job going to land me?
The answer is always "yes, I am moving forward." But half the time I actually feel like I am running in circle. Doing all these things but I still standing at the starting point.
Then there is this quote that I love:
"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever."
A little faith is all I need.
Who do you see when you look in the mirror? Who are you looking at? Who is looking back at you? Who are you looking for?
On some level or another, all of us are seeking ourselves whether we know it or not.
We all have beliefs, ideas, thoughts and attitudes which govern our thinking, our knowing and our living. Changing our thinking, our long held beliefs can dramatically change our daily lives.
Try looking at it this way.....
We live in a house of mirrors and think we are looking out the windows. (~ Fritz Perls)
Take a moment to think about what self reflection means for you. It is talking about how we perceive ourselves and our surroundings - how we fail to see that life reflects us back to ourselves.
Because we keep on looking out the windows, many of us take forever to realize that we are looking at ourselves mirrored back to us by others and by the events of our life.
Changing our perception of the problem by seeing the reality as it is reflected by us and to us, brings empowerment, change, discovery and consciousness.
The pathway forward towards happiness and authenticity is not determined by something outside ourselves. It’s determined by our own thinking, our own inner process, our self perception & reflection.

"Every one of us is shadowed by an illusory person, a false self. I wind my experiences around myself and cover myself in glory to make myself perceptible...as if I were an invisible body that could only become visible when something visible covered its surface....But there is no substance under the things with which I am clothed. I am hollow, and my structures of pleasures and ambitions have no foundation. I am my own mistake.....The secret of my identity is hidden in the love and mercy of God."
-Thomas Merton, "Seeds of Contemplation"
For FGR - Self Reflection... I hope this fits the category. If not, let me know who I gotta knock out to make it fit. Ha ha...
I pity the fool who doesn't view this sucka on black!!
Self reflection shot at the counter of one of the billions of 'Coffee Company' shops that have sprung up all over the best city in the world, like pimples on the face of a teenager when hitting puberty...
I had 'Tiny' with me and we were both excited to learn that free WiFi comes with the coffee...once I was outside, with my extra creamy cappuccino, I wasn't sure which wireless network was the CC's (you'd think they'd call it 'Coffee Company Network' or something, but no such luck!), so I just logged on to one of the many unsecured networks in the area and had a great time Flickring open-air style...it's so good to live in the 21st century :))
P.s. For some strange reason, the Netherlands are one of the very few countries without 'Starbucks'...I'm wondering why that is?! Obviously, you can't make a Dutch person pay 5 euros for a coffee, but still, what's the deal here?!
self reflection and bread with cheese. Nice coming back to the old stomping ground: www.flickr.com/gp/11638380@N07/Ws3zh4625i
This is my latest assignment from my Advanced People. The assignment is a little tough to describe, but it has something to do with self reflection. After spending time with Greg, capturing this moment I think fits the assignment quite well.

Physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual self.
"Light up Ocala" is on Nov. 20 this year - an all day event where people gather in the downtown area with booths and food and music, capped off by the lighting of the Downtown Christmas Tree and lights strung about on all the trees. The City has been getting the smaller lights ready for a few weeks now, and this week they finally set up the huge tree. I decided to take some pictures today during lunch as a prelude to the event.
Of course, I had to do another requesite Flickr photostream shot - the self reflected portrait with gear in hand. This is the first and frankly one of the best attempts I had while over by the tree doing this.
