Self portrait reflection.

Awkwardly making it through the days.

when it's dark light comes from unexpected angles

reflected by people,

moments,

circumstances

confusing, enlightening, revealing

look and you will see

it's up to you ...

Today I spent a bit of the day working on putting together a Do-it-yourself beauty dish (specific dish designed to reflect flash for photography). I got the instructions from here (http://davidtejada.blogspot.com/2008/04/beauty-dish-for-sb-800.html). Anyways, todays picture comes from the cd + convex mirror portion, and I decided to go for a self portrait with it.

Exposure: 1/160 sec @ f/1.8

Focal Length: 35mm

ISO: 400

Lens : Nikon AF-S 35mm DX 1.8

Flash: Did not fire

I was struck by an image from the classic Bengali movie "Nayak" where the protagonist reclines upon his train bunk, reflecting upon his life, before falling headlong into a revealing dream. I tried to replicate the lighting and post in a self-portrait.

Try, not.

Do.

Or, do not.

There is no try.

Riding the rails around Switzerland is an absolute joy. Even so, the Bernina Express - from Chur in Switzerland, through the Swiss Alps, to Tirano in Italy - is a notch above!

DAY 027/365: "Self-reflection"

“To shelf perfection, just ‘cause someone else inspectin’,

Differs from what swells rejection, to reflect their self on your self-reflection?”

What do you see when you look at yourself in the mirror? Does your self-reflection trigger a stream of negativity or does it ignite a river of positivity? Or perhaps a mix of both? Whatever your case may be, just remember… Your self-thoughts should not be influenced by the thoughts of others. Someone else has no right or authority to calculate your worth & value unless you freely give them permission. You know what Eleanor Roosevelt use to say back in the day… Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.
