Look closely at the steel leaves on the Self-reflection Mirror and you may discover some interesting and descriptive words. Legend has it, whichever characteristic you see first is what you truly are. Beware - they’re not all good.

Looking into Argonne Lake I could see myself

Nocturnal Encounters is a short photo essay exploring interpersonal sexual relationships as experienced through dreams. While the series is displayed sequence the traditional concept of beginning, middle and end are up for interpretation.

Late afternoon, right after work, is the perfect time to give a though about more introspective stuff... at least till someone starts taking pictures of you.

Self reflection

- Innermost frame represents the deepest, most bare part of me almost no one gets to see

I've been tagged several times (most recently by the lovely Bek) and never got around to doing it...so, better late than never, here are my 10 random pointless facts:

1 - I don't really like the internet all that much. I am one of the only people I know who doesn't have a facebook, myspace, twitter, or any of that. If not for flickr, I probably wouldn't spend any time at all online outside of work.

2 - If I could only choose one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be fresh watermelon, cut into chunks.

3 - I shattered my left ankle when I was 15. I had surgery, and it was reassembled with steel pins. They don't set off metal detectors, but I get weird pains when the weather changes sometimes.

4 - My old house is haunted. No joke. I have witnesses.

5 - I learned to read when I was 3.

6 - Nine Inch Nails is one of my favorite bands. I've seen them perform live 23 times in 8 states.

7 - I fail at all sports. I haven't been good at a sport since kickball in grade school.

8 - I have never in my life been afraid of the dark.

9 - I've never taken a photography class, but I would love to learn how to develop my own film.

10 - I am not a fan of extreme temperatures, either hot or cold. My ideal weather would be low 80's during the day and low 60's at night. I love thunderstorms and fog more than anything.

LOL - fakey suprised look, i skipped racquetball tonight, so i don't look like crap ;)

there was a big mirror in the hallway....livvy had to pee....i took shots of myself until i found one i liked.

No, FGR didn’t invade the cliché group again. Today’s challenge features the Self-Reflection group.

Right now I’m reflecting on why I don’t watch presidential debates, how come the only games my boys play with one another involve kung-fu, & how good that beer I’m going to crack open after this shoot will be. mmmmm, beer.

Gotta go…very thirsty.

I spent the weekend learning how to square dance and reflecting.

Reminds me of that spaceship from The Flight of the Navigator Anyone remember that movie? :-}

i am realizing that i am no good when it comes to a lot of things

but i think that i would like to be good at loving and at being whole again more than anything else.

Fresh out of the shower, natural light, no makeup! Ahh! lol. Truth be told, I am not a 'girly girl' and most of the time I'm too lazy to put makeup on.

I had some downtime, so I figured I'd mess around with the camera.

I'm here, I'm in San Francisco. So far I'm doing some freelance web development work. No real hits on a full-time office job. I got a few call-backs when I first got here, but not so much lately. I feel like most jobs want someone with a bit more experience than what I have. Also, a lot of companies want a portfolio from me, which I don't have much of because most of the work I've done so far is either on a closed system or just doesn't consist of much to "show" somebody.

I'll find a job, I'm sure of it, but now I'll just keep doing the freelance gigs.

*Update* I just received a call for an interview! I'm pumped. More on how it goes sometime after Wednesday.

*Update 2* I'm employed, I start on 10/29/2007 !!!

Self-reflections. Flickring away (well editing, actually) stil in my pjs and suddenly thought to take this self-portrait through the mirror.

Reminds me of films about journalists, committed to their trade - chaotic office, at work all hours, and, of course, a NIkon camera :)

I took this shot of my reflection today in Chicago.

Photo captured on Mattole Road miles southwest of the city of Ferndale. On the way to the Lost Coast. Humboldt County. Late May 2013.

reflection of my shoes on glass at Grey's Lake bridge.

There is a light on the other side, Each glass is a diferent color and at night it creates a nice look once lit.

Me just goofing around.

Yeah, the lights were blazing.
