It wasn't until I was about to post this that I realized that the reflection is different from the real section. It made me think of that movie Mirrors and how reflections don't always mirror reality.

Playing with reflections on a sunny, beautiful day after lunch. Hit the Flickr notes to see what's going on!
“My subjects will always be fragments of myself because the nature of art is projection, whether or not it’s intentional.” Gabi by Christine Wu (3/5)
Why are you always upside down? Just when you think everything is facing straight ahead you end up tilted. The story of my life.
This photo is SOOC too.
A sculpture at Chatsworth House as part of the 'Beyond Limits' collection by Nadim Karim ... spot the interloper!
"Self-reflection,prayer,rituals, meditation and other spiritual practices have the power to release the "life force" in the deepest levels of the human psyche, levels that secular interventions cannot reach. In Native American culture this is seen through their respect and love for the world around them."
This was an exert from one of my many psych essays, how does this correlate to the photo above?
Easy, see photography is my sort of self reflection, a time for prayer, and meditation all at once. Through it, I reach that sense of self and fight through the ego to the most sacred part of the human mind. Just like the Natives love their earth, its beauty and its gifts; I wonder each day how this world never ceases to be any more perfect while surrounded by humanly imperfection and destruction. In these moments is when love can be felt in its truest nature, you feel one with the world. You reach nirvana.
On another note, I need new lenses and a good camera cleaning.
for 365 and FGR invades self reflection.
Ghosts were never something I put a whole lot of stock in. Then my dad passed away and the weirdest things started happening at my mom's house. It took me a while to actually step across the line and confess to anyone that I believe he was there for a bit after he died. It makes me sound like a crazy lunatic. Maybe it is just wishful thinking? Maybe it was just coincidence? Maybe it was just a way to make myself feel better about missing him so much?
Or maybe he really was there.

I like how there are three sets of reflections going on here. And how my face is mostly obscured, because that's pretty much what I try for when taking pictures of myself. Yes, I like to defeat the purpose.

Harness for Self-Reflection
Combining sculpture, image and text, "Harness for Self-Reflection" (2021) considers the tenuous relationship between chronic illness, agency and activism. Object and image compose a self-referential installation and looping phenomena that choreographs movement within the surrounding space. Documenting a private performance ritual of self-examination, eight silken image-texts hang in a pinwheel formation around a central copper cylinder. A wearable viewing apparatus or harness, hangs limp with nonuse at the structure’s center.
Cotton cord becomes the common thread between illness and culture, sexuality and healing, social bondage and autonomous political agency. Interweaving the ‘domestic’ craft of macramé with erotic shibari techniques, the harness binds the body to a large mirror suspended between the artist’s legs during performance–self-bondage diagnoses, reclamation of agency, auto-interview introspection. Performance images are overlaid with portions of a poetic text written in the artist’s hand. Here, temporal linearity collapses as terrains of embodied knowledge are traversed through metaphor, idiom, diary remembrance and real-time narration of a medical examination. Latent illness, elusive agency, fugitive knowledge; raw edged silken prints are volatile and highly sensitive to voyeuristic presences where even slight movements cause the material to flow and obfuscate.
Punctured momentarily when performer and viewer catch each other’s gaze through the viewing apparatus, the installation forms a feedback loop of looking that simultaneously threatens disaster and promises relief. A cyclical structure, cotton loops, and cursive script; "Harness for Self-Reflection" ensnares, a lens through which to consider the trap of visibility.

I really like this accidental shot.
We've been painting our house for the past 6 weeks (yikes) and I've had few opportunities to fondle my camera the way I'd like to. This afternoon I grabbed an armful of stuff — Vanity Fair — under my arm, was getting ready to rush our the door, and as I checked to see my battery levels this shot snapped from our front hall.
I love that there's multiple layers of reflection here; I'm shooting into a mirror that's reflecting of a picture that's re-reflecting off another picture. Whew! And of course, my grandfather's old, well, grandfather's clock which is a classic beauty though it hasn't ticked in 30 years. The darkened picture on the right is an original watercolor of the house.
