U.... Well, not you -- me actually. Reflections in the curved cargo hatch door -- more fun than the mirrors in a carnival funhouse.
Part of a set of....
self fragments. self investigation. self examination. self composition. self probing. self components. self seriousness. self indulgence.

IPhone 6+ and processed with Snapseed, TouchRetouch, Instaflash Pro. I saw the footsteps in the sand, and then saw the man sitting off by himself. It definitely seemed like a moment of alone time. I turned around and went the other way.
The thing about photography is that the viewer is always receiving a bit of the photographer in the photo. Sometimes covertly. Other times overtly. For example, I'm completely absorbed in the exhibit of artist Ellsworth Kelly at the St. Louis Art Museum–in his panoramic frame, delineated panels, and merging colors that starts with yellow and ends in yellow–but then there is my reflection in the very thing I'm absorbed in.
I'm appreciating and photographing the artwork of:
Artist: Ellsworth Kelly (American, 1923-2015)
Title: Spectrum II (1966-1967)
Material: Oil on canvas
Venue: St. Louis Art Museum
Excerpt from brainproject.ca:
We have all been raised to self-reflect and consider who we are, what we want and where we are going. Our view of ourselves is frequently based on how we were raised, educated and treated as children. As we age, we see ourselves further reflected in our families, friends and more generally in how successfully we have navigated employment and financial stability. We often subscribe to the media’s rigid, impenetrable polished ideals that are framed in clear-cut definitions of identity and beauty. “Self Reflection” visually depicts these tendencies while gently reminding us of how aging and disease can also provide new self-images. Though clouded, our self-portraits can also become softer and more deeply beautiful.

I like entrances to places. They catch my eye as I walk pas and I generally stop to examine the space. When I do, like this, usually a group will form behind me to examine me and what I might be spying on. Spy on spy.
In other news, I just picked up this lovely, brand new Canon 6D Mark II and a Sigma ART series 20mm 1.4 from my partners at Digital 24 to test and use to my desire. Today is day one of getting used to the feel and where everything is. My initial reaction is one of bliss. Really enjoy the feel of it. The Sigma is really big, but the Canon body fits really well in my hand. So far, so good. Christmas has come early.

Nelle profondità della Cueva de los Verdes, un tunnel di lava scolpito dal fuoco, la realtà si frammenta. Camminando nel cuore del vulcano, i riferimenti si dissolvono: il sopra e il sotto, il reale e il riflesso, tutto si mescola in un gioco di luci e ombre. Lo specchio d’acqua perfetto inganna l’occhio e sfida la mente. È qui, nel silenzio e nell’oscurità, che si trova la propria essenza. Il riflesso nella grotta non è solo immagine, ma rivelazione. Un luogo dove perdersi significa ritrovarsi.

there is something in this photograph that speaks of cycles and of healing -- something that feels "right" to me today. i took this originally last march.
Quick shot from early evening back in the autumn, over in Harefield at the foot of the hill on the Grand Union Canal. Busy times at the moment, so apologies for the slightly sporadic appearances. Thanks to Getty Images who, over the last week, have requested a few of my images - really proud to be part of the collection. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Sometimes we need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.
Self reflection.
