Self-portrait playing with light from a lamp and the traffic lights coming through my blinds in the background.
Sometimes life is about self-exploration especially when one is going through a time of transition and change. I have been trying to decide what's up with the random self-portraits I've been doing since they are not particularly about being vain or showing off (which secretly I felt insecure about everytime I posted them). They are partly because life is busy, and in the evening when I finally get home there are only so many photography subject to take photos of. However, I am realizing after some self-reflection that they are about trying to re-learn who I am as just me. So here's one with hair a mess and no make-up. No smile because it's about looking looking backward, and self-reflecting for better or worse. This one is just me.

Jeppe Hein - WHO AM I WHY AM I WHERE AM I GOING - 2017
A stroll past the booths of any given international art fair will reveal that neon’s potential as a material in art seems far from being exhausted. Aside from the texts, enormous popularity is currently also enjoyed by works that play with the additional use of other materials besides neon. For instance, the conjunction of neon and reflective elements is attractive for some artists. Jeppe Hein has a whole series of works in which neon tubes are integrated into a semi-permeable mirrored box. The neon systems mounted behind the mirror are visible from the outside, while the mirror fulfils its usual function on the front. WHO AM I WHY AM I WHERE AM I GOING is written on one of them. Spectators confront themselves in a mirror, on which a message is mounted. It is obvious who the addressee is, since he or she sees himself or herself in the mirror. The messages are utterly direct, they transport the person standing opposite into the Here and Now. If one loses oneself in art during an exhibition visit, one will be jolted back to reality on arrival at this point. One is compelled to deal with oneself.

Things might be tough for me right now but that doesn't mean I still can't smile when I remind myself of how brave I've been and how far I've come.

Today's ODC challenge was not just a word or two but this quote: "A great wind is blowing and that gives you either imagination or a headache" quote by Catherine the Great
Self-reflection is a time to IMAGINE all sorts of things - some good, some bad. Either way, I usually end up with a HEADACHE!

An Idea that popped into my head. May see a few of me as part of my bucket list to get 12 Self Portraits I deem worthy of framing or printing at the end of the year. I am glad my muse helped with my idea in the month of January!

"All of this is happening for you - not to you - and accepting that is the first step of gratefulness. Make peace with what is. You were brought here because you were meant to learn these lessons, no matter how difficult or earth stuttering , or painful. With acceptance comes gratitude. With gratitude comes letting go. And it's through letting go that we'll stop fighting upstream and finally start working with the flow of life.
Make peace with what is... and everything will start falling into place" Rachel Brathen.

This is Ven Dangala Kusalagnana Thero. I met this buddhist monk last sunday in Düsseldorf. It was raining for hours - but he did not mind!
He told me there is no "bad weather" in buddhism. Everything is good, so he taught me. I really liked this positive point of view :)
Have a nice day!

It was dark, it was raining - so I had to push the film one stop to reach 1/15 (!) of a second shutterspeed. But it came out well (to my surprise) ;-)
self-portrait
(September 18, 2015)
Location: Dallas Museum of Art, TX, US
I am bringing another self-portrait from the DMA. I took it a few hours ago during the opening night of the DMA's new exhibition "Spirit and Matter: Masterpieces from the Keir Collection of Islamic Art".
This is a reflection in a little mirror used for showing the details of a silver bowl coming from Anatolia or Syria (1180s). I have to admit that I was fascinated by every single object of the exhibition out of over fifty masterworks in various mediums (from rock crystal to works on paper, metalwork, ceramics, carpets, and textiles). Geometry, repetition and word were three essential elements that touched my aesthetic. Thanks to the lecture of Dr. Sabiha Al Khemir, Senior Advisor for Islamic Art, introducing the exhibition, I could probably have a better grasp of the mentality of the culture that produced them.
