Delicacy of pride through reflection.
I'm still experimenting with colors trying to find a pallete that i like.
Self reflection caught on the glass roof of the Mare Magnum building, Rambla del Mar, Port of Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain.
My inspiration came in part from Johannes Vermeer who was was a Dutch Baroque painter (baptized in Delft as Joannis on October 31 1632, and buried in the same city under the name Jan on December 16 1675).

Baroque painting
Most important and major painting during the period beginning around 1600 and continuing throughout the 17th century, and into the early 18th century is identified today as Baroque painting.
And of course of my favorite painter Frida Kahlo !

This is another perspective from a similar shot which I uploaded earlier. This mirror just fascinated me and to be honest, I couldn't really decide which one to upload ;)
This is the first in a series of reflected self-portraits taken in the attic of an old garage with some nice decrepit windows to match the somber mood of the winter day on which I took them.
I took and posted one of my wife
so tit for tat here is her spouse

Ever since my daughter was born self reflection was no longer an option...it is an almost daily occurrence. I see so much of myself in her! Although I know she is an individual in her own right...I am forced to watch as she fumbles through many of the same troubles and triumphs I did as a young girl.
Reflection: I see how my experiences have molded me and now I watch and wonder what she'll make of hers?!
For FGR (and my good friend, Maite): SELF-REFLECTION
This shot is all reflection. Just a fun little shot as we were heading up to College Fjord in Prince William Sound.

Thanks for looking!

Wicked self-reflection on the lamp of a motorcycle.
No Photoshop, no tricks, just some contrast&saturation added, as usual, shot with a mobile phone :)
I know it's only Monday, but if you keep telling yourself from the moment you open your eyes that it's almost weekend, you will feel much better! It's some kind of self-hypnosis or something I guess, and it's working fine for me :)
Give it a try, whenever you feel a bit stressed out or somebody asks you how things are going, simply tell yourself/reply '"Great, almost weekend". Enjoy!
I hate chain letters, etc. I even hate doing the whole tagging each other thing like I am doing now. The only reason I am doing it now is cause its incentive for me to go take a picture for it. So since Mike tagged me, thank you Mike for getting out of the photographer’s block.
So here is how it works, you are suppose to tag 10 people and write 10 things about yourself that others might not know about you. And since I hate this whole concept of tagging as forms of chain letter, I will be a rebel and tag ONLY 5 people instead of 10.
1. I get distracted very easily, and usually that lead me to procrastinating on things. I think in my college life there was only one time that I didn’t procrastinate. I was known as the king of procrastination. If you follow my photostream you will notice that I even procrastinate in uploading photos to flickr.
2. Even thought l love to travel, I hate traveling by plane. It not that I am scared to fly but the leg room in a plane sucks. And considering that I hate it, I end up traveling by plane quite often.
3. I used to be lactose intolerant, now it’s a little better, the max amount of milk I can have per day is about 1-1.5 cups. Anymore than that bathroom becomes my friend for the day.
4. When I was younger, I lived in England for a while. I even had a British accent, but unfortunately I completely lost it.
5. When I was born I almost died. The nurse came to my dad and basically said (I am paraphrasing) “Which one do you want, the mom or the baby.” The c-section operation had some complications and thank god that ultimately everything went well and both of us (mom and me) were ok.
6. While on the topic of death, 3 out of my 4 grandparents died within 2 months of each other.
7. I am very patient and a lot of the things I can do would annoy most people very easily.
8. I also have some small pet peeves, but with my patience I can overlook them but still it annoys me.
9. I am a very reserved person, most of my life it took me literally years to make close friends. And once I make a close friend I would spill out my guts and tell them everything. And as Mike can testify to this, that it becomes a point that they end up knowing my life more than I can remember it myself.
10. In my house there are 6 computers running for a house hold of 4.
As I said earlier I will only tag 5 people. I tag:
Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.
I have been in Minneapolis for almost a week, attending a conference, along with a visit with a few old friends, plus taking photos for the event. This guy was amazing - 84 years old and going strong! Son if a shaercropper; what a history he must have. Dr. John Perkins
Helen of Troy had a wandering glance;
Sappho's restriction was only the sky;
Ninon was ever the chatter of France;
But oh, what a good girl am I!
