Time for a self-portrait -- reflected in my laptop! This is not edited, except to increase the contrast a bit on the screen (which was turned off, with lots of lights for maximum reflectivity). If you look close, you can see the doubled reflections in my screen.

San Diego Family Vacation 2015

This curved mirror is an invitation to take a selfie in The Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA), which is one of many museums in San Diego's Balboa Park

~ This interactive piece of art is in the museum's Self/Reflection Exhibition; which asks the visitor :

~How can you explore your identity through a photograph?

~What might you include in your self portrait to tell a story about yourself?

~How has photography changed the way we share our identities and personal stories with the world?

~ I had a lot of fun with this mirror! I love any kind of playful interactive art.

I love Balboa Park in San Diego. It's an " urban cultural park." It is a place full of happiness & culture. Makes you feel happy to be a human being! It contains 20 plus museums of all different kinds, several theaters, the San Diego Zoo, gardens, and walking paths.

now for one that is actually acceptable quality...

Self-reflection time!

This past week was spring break. I went home for a couple days and then off to a conference. While home my dad and I took out his new lighting equipment and did some shots. Lately it seems like I have been doing a lot of self-reflecting, so this picture actually really fits my life at the moment!

Pic from old album. Picture taken at Glendalough, Ireland.

After roughly two years without one... I finally went and got a stereo for my car.

There is a looong and sordid story about the sad sudden death of the old stereo so long ago, and the subsequent dramarama of why it took so bloody long to finally have a new one installed.. But suffice it to say I'm totally thrilled to have music restored to my beloved Subaru.

For Me Again Monday, "self reflection"

This self portrait reflects on my humorous side of photography. Who says a urinal is bad composition?

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.

• Adjectives hidden in leaves

• Antique copper finish

• 18” h X 28” w

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.

Looking into Argonne Lake I could see myself

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 ;)
