Some Sunday self reflection in a gravy ladle......
Today is went shopping with the kid to get supplies to make a double helix, a DNA strand for school. Of course all the kits to make them were out of stock so we stood at Jo-Ann Farics for anything to improvise. I think we got it all worked out, she is planning on having the pinkest, glittery-est double helix this side of the mississippi. LOL.....
When you ask her what her favorite color is, she answers glitter. I was unaware the glitter was a color...
Oh and this one is SOOC!
“Working with analog film there is always a fear involved. Questions were always related about the film material – Was it the right exposure? Did I scratch the surface of the material? Where there any light leaks? – the thoughts could go on and on. I was too careful about the materiality of film that I was blocking myself with it. So this time I let it break, scratch and suffer in many possible ways.” Faces by Hóngwěi Táng (2/4)
The Indian Pond Heron or Paddybird (Ardeola grayii) is a small heron. It is of Old World origins, breeding in southern Iran and east to India, Burma, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. They are widespread and common but can be easily missed when they stalk prey at the edge of small water-bodies or even when they roost close to human habitations. They are however distinctive when they take off with bright white wings flashing in contrast to the cryptic streaked olive and brown colours of the body. Their camouflage is so excellent that they will close approach before taking to flight, a behaviour which has resulted in folk names and beliefs that the birds are short-sighted or blind.
They appear stocky with a short neck, short thick bill and buff-brown back. In summer, adults have long neck feathers. Its appearance is transformed from their dull colours when they take to flight, when the white of the wings makes them very prominent. It is very similar to the Squacco Heron, Ardeola ralloides, but is darker-backed. To the east of its range, it is replaced by the Chinese Pond Heron, Ardeola bacchus.
They are very silent but may give a harsh croak when flushed or near their nests.
They are very common in India, and are usually solitary foragers but numbers of them may sometimes feed in close proximity during the dry seasons when small wetlands have a high concentration of prey. They are semi-colonial breeders. They may also forage at garbage heaps. During dry seasons, they sometimes take to foraging on well watered lawns or even dry grassland. When foraging, they allow close approach and flush only at close range. They sometimes form communal roosts, often in avenue trees over busy urban areas.
The Indian Pond Heron's feeding habitat is marshy wetlands. They usually feed at the edge of ponds but make extensive use of floating vegetation such as Water hyacinth to access deeper water. They may also on occasion swim on water or fish from the air and land in deeper waters
Another warped self reflection. If you look close, I'm reflected in the "bubbles".
Today's Random Fact - I'm so tired of sitting on my ass without work of some kind. It's important to me to get some sort of self worth. I get a lot of that through my professional life. It'll come.. but, I'm getting very impatient.

•My self-reflection
To start I'd like to say that this first project really stressed me out and it may be because I assumed id be horrible at it since I have little experience with the creativity of a picture. In all, honestly, I think I underestimated myself a little bit too much, I think they really good, some of them would look incredible if I had a better camera but I’m not complaining. I think that taking it slow and waiting for more classes to get more ideas like the rule of thirds was really helpful to me. For this project, I really wanted to go outside, I had thoughts of doing it my room but I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and just go to a park. Luckily no one was there so taking pictures was a breeze and I had a ton of fun. It was not embarrassing being on the playground and looking for good shots, I didn’t feel too weird being on the sand or grass to get a good worms eye view or climb up the playground to get birds eye views. I hope these look unique enough to at least stand out from my usual ones. I learned a lot, that with just a simple area there are so many possibilities of shots. I could retake the same objects on different angles with different point of views and it would look completely different. In general, it was a fun project 1 with a lot of creativity and I can’t wait to see the shots my classmates have made. The only thing I’m a little sad was we could only upload 5 shots and I had 2 that I really hoping I could choose but they fell short by just a tiny bit.
As I sit here and analyze my life, I ponder on who I should of been or where I should be, completely forgetting how far I've come. Today, I will acknowledge my success and continue to work hard to achieve all my personal goals. I've come a long way. I do not seek validation from anyone around me, but from myself. Good day!
Note to self: I'm proud of you.
