Hard disk discovery, old stuff ;-).....
And I don´t know why I appear twice in this reflection......it came exactly out of the camera
-- Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
We are all multi-faceted; we have many emotions, desires, preferences, and personalities. I am certainly no exception. Most of my self-portraits thus far have been rather ... serious, or at least generally so. I've felt as though my creativity is limited to my 'deep thoughts' and my sense of humor isn't as applicable. Mainly, I'm usually just not smiling (with the exception of three or so shots). Some individuals (though I will not name them) had a first impression of me as someone serious, uptight, ... whatever. When I heard that, I laughed. And then thought to myself, hmm, is that true? No. Fair enough, but is that how I want others to perceive me? It's definitely not how I perceive myself. I like to have others see me as I'd like to be seen (who doesn't?) -- and I'd like to be seen as who I truly am, not some ideal. Truly, I laugh constantly. I joke constantly. I am too sarcastic. I make really, really corny jokes (e.g. "What do you call cheese that isn't yours? ... Na-cho cheese!" & "What time do you go to the dentist? ... Tooth-hurty!" & etc. etc. ad infinitum...). I love slapstick humor (e.g. Mel Brooks is my hero). Et al.
I am also deeply devoted to the intellect. I'm a philosopher by nature and college degree, and I love it more than just about anything. I know this part of me has come forth strongly in my photostream. I also studied neuroscience as an accompaniment to my theories about consciousness and personal identity. I've learned never to take a single thing for granted, believe anything beyond a shadow of a doubt, or throw my words around haphazardly. Sure, this makes me an analytic bastard who is anal about semantics and logic. People tend to find this tedious. So I have to reconcile two parts of myself: the silly idiot who is always ready to laugh at her own expense, and the thoroughly introspective and scientific seeker. Throw in creativity (which I *think* I have ;-) and you've got me. A big melting pot of talent, absurdity, philosophy, and passion.
Many thanks and love to Maite for picking "Self-Reflection" as today's FGR theme.

Self reflected in photo by Arno Rafael Minkkinen. Nordic Light International Festival of Photography, Kristiansund, Norway, 2006.
“It is necessary ... for a man to go away by himself ... to sit on a rock ... and ask, 'Who am I, where have I been, and where am I going?”
― Carl Sandburg

I've been tagged by my new full of life friend,
Jaime973. So here are 10 random things about me.
1 - I'm a trained Swiss graphic designer by trade.
2 - I attended the same summer program that Kevin Bacon went to, PA Governor School for the Arts.
3 - If I'm rich, I would be a ceramist doing pottery, my first love in art.
4 - I have koi pond in my back yard, I've learn so much about keeping the water clear and clean. I also made lots and lots of mistakes with my pond, that's life, live and learn.
5 - My three design masters that I admire are Paul Rand (an American designer), Ikko Tanaka (a Japanese Designer), and Armin Hofmann (a Swiss Designer).
6 - I love all type of music. From classical to the modern music.
7 - I love to play sports, volleyball was my thing.
8 - I love to be surrounded by people with passions. About life, interest, family, etc.
9 - I'm an old school.
10 - Last, but not least, I'm a sponge in life. I love to soak in what's around me.
I'm not going to tag other people, but please feel free to join the fun. We can all learn a thing or two from each other.
I was naked when I took this picture,so for me its a portrail of self identity, the mirror is a symbol of self reflection in a concious manner and I follow the conour of the mirror as an overall belief in who I am and where Im at in life. In control.
