Oil on canvas 75 x 100
There is a moment in life when you realise that you are completely on your own.
All the riches, securities and other intertwined constructions are of no use.
You are on your own, your standing naked in an open field and in a position of self reflection.
Panic!
What do I do? Where do I run? Can I hide? Or do I face my self?
Nowhere to hide?!
Here's a little confession: on a minute-by-minute basis, I have no idea what I actually look like. In my mind, most of my mannerisms and facial expressions are with one of my brothers' features. Watching video recordings of myself is a jarring experience, because I'm expecting someone completely different from what I see.
As a result, I've recently taken to making faces at myself in the mirror to get used to who I am. It's weird. Am I the only one this happens to?
when you have to do laundry and other such tasks you aren't used to, it gives you time to reflect. Especially when you have a pretty red washing machine with chrome dials.
The Christmas version of seeing the world though rose-colored glasses: seeing the world in a gold-plastic ornament.

Dachte zuerst "Hilfe, ich will kein Selbstportrait machen", dann kam mir die Idee mit dem Fahrradhelm und nach mehreren Versuchen habe ich ein Kompromiss gefunden;) • This week I thought "Help, no Self-Portrait please", then I had the idea with my bicycle-helmet and after a couple of shots I found this compromise;)

I think this falls under the category of current favorite image I've created. WHile I know I am no Steve McCurry I feel there is something in the eyes very reminiscent to his image the Afghan woman Sharbat Gula. Please please please give me feedback. I want to hear what you think

Sometime around Gabriel's birth we gifted Andrew with our old S100 PowerShot point and shoot. Today I got a hold of it and looking through it was like watching a 365 of Andrew. He loves to take pics of himself. He has figured out how to turn on the self timer and set up the camera and set it on a surface so he can look into it. About every 5th shot is all red because he's stuck the front of it into his mouth. I guess it's his journey of self-discovery. If he was on flickr he'd totally be in a 365 self portrait group hehe.
“Each action exists in double form. First as a live process, then as a reflection, an aftermath, brought back into the gallery space. This is a private arena which allows the documentation to interact as a collection of works that together serve as windows towards several aspects and conditions of the city of Amsterdam. Stories of the place, but also ruptures, become opportunities to reflect on what it means to navigate the everyday.” Blow by Alina Lupu. Interview by Cristina Buta (4/4)
Often in life, one must cleanse the soul; undergoing a series of self reflective exercises to uncover the highs and lows pertaining to one's life. Just like this photo depicts beautiful Mount Lassen, and its reflection on the lake, life sometimes can and will display the obvious to your very own eyes. Live, love and enjoy life. Photo of Mount Lassen captured at Manzanita Lake. Shasta County. Late October 2012.
This evening I went to the opening of a local artist's first one-man show. Ken Garcia is experimenting with his classically-trained ability in oil painted figures mixed with his youthful history with graffiti.
He had a mirror set up for selfies. I'm not sure I did this right...

The Challenge: Take one self portrait each day for a year.
Each day, take a self portrait, tag it with "365days", and submit it to the pool. It's that simple!
“I don’t like to make for beauty because beauty shouldn’t be something that is caught and held onto other than in memory. The pursuit of beauty causes more confusion than clarity, and I’m more interested in the pursuit of truths. Beauty is something that shouldn’t last.” Young Blood by Christine Wu (4/5)
