Only a fraction of this photograph portrays the real woman as most of it is her reflection. All sides of her are present yet a complete image of her is absent. She is submerged so deep within her own reality it is impossible for her to see outside of it. Sometimes we look too deeply within ourselves as we block out the big picture because excessive introspection prohibits us from looking at the situation as a whole and, it turn, worsens it. The image melts reality and fiction together, preventing one from distinguishing the real imagery from the reflection.
When you pause and think about yourself, what do you actually think about?
Is it how you look right now, your health, or your recent achievements? Is it usually about all the bad, or all the good?
The only real times I really think about myself is when things are going really badly. It's kind of a quick check to see if you're OK even though what's going around you is so bad and a search for something that's still awesome to look forward to.
A rarely seen Pied-billed Grebe, spotted a Quidi Vidi Lake in St. John's, Newfoundland. Reflection off calm water in the early morning light.
Self Reflection - 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?
And this was one of those times. Sorry Monika - you're a beautiful, beautiful woman, and I love how willing you are to put up with my constant photographing. But sometimes I just want a nice photo of myself holding my lovely new Canon 40D.
I'm sure you understand
Here's a selfie from earlier this year in a hotel room in Sydney.
Camera news - after a bit of a mix up on their end, the restaurant posted the camera two days ago, so hopefully it will arrive today! Fingers crossed :-)
I've not posted anything for a long time, there's been too much going on!
Here's a suitably contemplative shot from a trip to Portugal last month.
Just experimenting with the instagram app on my iPhone. If anyone wants to search for me on Instagram, I'm jcowboyjp there.
Stylin in Anne Fontaine jacket, we headed out for our Photo Friday walk. It was cold during our photo walk. It was sunny too. So I wore gloves and shades. Little difficult to handle camera in gloves, but I managed. I took this shot against a window of a building.
No post-processing was done except for some brightness adjustments. I used reflections to get this picture.
The looting of other cultures as a metaphor for personal growth (note that it is 'wealth of the Indies' not 'wealth from the Indies').
At Union Station in Washington, DC.

Hanging out with my dear friends Adam and Kyllikki in Ithaca, NY at the famous Pastimes antiques shop.
Wish I didn't have such an odd expression on my face - but the rest of the photo is so cool!
