Taken with a Ricoh R1 camera in week 166 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

This camera was also sold as the "Rollei Prego Micron"
The film is outdated Fuji ISO50 slide film, cross-processed in the Tetenal C41 kit.
On someone's suggestion I came down to Mooney's Bay, by myself.
Then suddenly I came up with an idea to just put the camera down and take a shot of me in this state, whether it focused on me or not. I think it looks just fine, if not better, focusing on the grass.
The idea of self-reflection is quite true: for instance, I don't have school, no job, and no friends at all to hang out with. My whole life is ahead of me.
Mooney's Bay is perhaps one of my most favorite places in this city. Unfortunately I couldn't stay long - I had to get all the way back home, about 14.94 km away. If I had my way I'd have gone swimming, right there. It's a sandy bottom, no sea weed, and the water is beautiful.
It's kind of lonely there too. That's how I feel anyway. Man, the grass did a good job, I love this composition.
The back of the abandoned farm in south east Austin, Texas, had many windows of varying sizes. Rarely when you find a property as old as this do you still see many of the "live in" details. But, at this farm house every window still had some type of curtain, dressing, rod, etc.
This is my other strange obsession when out shooting architecture. I love windows, with window frames, from outside. Maybe it's from years of working as a graphic designer, but when I see windows it immediately starts drawing grids in my mind, I see compositional layouts that are so unique to me. I find it deeply inspiring. Mix that with the textures, colors, and materials of the window and it all equates to a strange delight for me.
I used to try and shoot these without ending up in the reflection but now I strive for that. The great thing about reflections is that you can see yourself in a different space, in a different way. I love that.
Even in this fragmented piece of broken glass and wood, I see a reflection of myself doing something I love. What a gift that is.

Taken during a visit to Thalia United Methodist Church, Virginia Beach, Virginia. We were there for a piano recital.
This is a reflection looking into the sound booth through it's one-way window.
We're Here! working on the Mirror Project of reflected self portraits.
Not sure what to say about this. Instead, I'll talk about my day.
I went to work this morning. Got a pizza from Subway for lunch. Got sick about half an hour later. Got off an hour earlier than expected. Beat Justin home. He came home, we went to Chick-Fil-A. Was sick by the time we got home. He packed up his crap, and left for the weekend. I removed most of my clothes and reclaimed the spare bedroom as my "studio room" and took pictures of myself.
Now I'm going to go eat ice cream and watch TV in my underwear. Why? Because I'm home alone, and that means I can do whatever I want.
Ah, check it: my tattoo was featured on www.tattooconfidential.com/!

Self reflection. Documentation picture from first presentation of my Final Fantasy installation at Museo Muros in Cuernavaca (November 2006). Developing the project I was focusing on the symbolical aspect of the mirror and on general associations of the created object with popular culture dynamics observed at Mexican graveyards. The Mimetic Effect (graves disappearing from the view at some angles) was sort of pleasant surprise for me at that time.
Outtake of another self portrait I did a while ago.. man I'm in a rut. Haven't taken any new photos in a while. I hate winter. This is the Photo from which the outtake came originally and you can see how they are a bit similar.
I'm not that keen on being in front of the camera, but I kinda liked this shot. The shot after this was a little strange, I looked to have another face on my hand? Weird!
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...
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 via the HDR method of photography at Manzanita Lake. Shasta County. Late October 2012.
Originally built for the B&O, this former GP30 sits with the other power in Brunswick around 3 am on a cold March morning.
Distorted and incomplete, as most perceptions are.
Contents of this image include, but are not limited to: Captain America t-shirt, Minolta Autocord, my grandparents' old neighborhood and me.
The constant struggle of how we see ourselves...
Not my image. My thanks to Audringje for the beautiful Reflecting Portrait. The very cool Burlap Texture is from ground*floor. Used Pioneer Woman's "Define and Sharpen" action. Thanks also to psoup216 for his text assistance! Be sure to view this LARGE.
