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.

A double exposure self portrait. Both guys are me, slightly different dressed. The two pictures were taken a couple of minutes apart, then merged in photoshop.
I can tell you, the water of the river Rhine* is very cold mid November. Anything for a picture, right?
* actually, at this specific location, the Rhine goes by the name of "Lek", but it's the same friggin' river, just check the map of The Netherlands. :)
The picture was a submission for a DPChallenge (disqualified, 'cause I misunderstood the rules) and is heavily inspired by this (much better) one.
Something you may not know about me.... I always thought it would be fun to be a LEGO brickmaster as a kid, getting to spend your days designing and building LEGOs.
We visited LEGOLAND today. It's really starting to show its age. Many of the bricks are faded from 10+ years of sun exposure. Today it was clear that most of the brickmasters spend their time doing rebuilding and repairs.
Thought about doing some post-processing, but hey, I'm on vacation.

A moment for self reflection: The words "you're beautiful" are dissected for hidden meaning. They hang heavy in the air when you are desperate to hear them or fall short of your expectations when they are uttered.
I'm not going to get into a diatribe about how beauty standards are ridiculous, how consumerism is bad, how body image has been perverted etc, etc. I'm just going to admit that it's hard to take those two words (if you consider the contraction) seriously. It's even harder when you're told more explicitly "to me you're beautiful". At least that's how I've felt...
But I think I just got it. I love these creatures to bits. I have a very characteristic reaction to them and small things in general I'm told (read: babies, little woodland creatures, bugs, miniature versions of bigger flowers--you know what I'm talking about tiny daffodils). I love them so much and think they are so incredibly beautiful that I can't understand why other people don't. And yet, one of my closest friends is mortally afraid of them. She thinks they are disgusting and terrifying.
Huh, I think I just got what those words mean. Well I'll be...
In the shot. I asked Mark Porter to think of memories that where he couldn't of done anything different with outcome. To bring out the the self reflection in his body language.
I saw this great reflection on the chrome work of a classic truck. Took two images and realised that I was part of the reflection. So being the smart guy I am..... Stepped to the side and took this great shot.
Perfect!
Till I got home and saw the image on the screen. Twelve bloody reflections of myself, and a shadow for all to see.
