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!

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.

Ci sono giorni in cui lo specchio non rimanda solo un volto, ma una geografia di ricordi, di emozioni, di sogni e di mancanze e di speranze per una futura felicità.
Le espressioni e le rughe raccontano chi sei.

Today I had some pretty intense thoughts come to mind. I had a great woman's bible study meeting tonight. Which provoked even more intense thoughts. I had a great conversation with a great friend and talked about these things.
I haven't been myself for a very long time.....I have long been changing, manipulating, hiding, selective showing, leaning, weaning.....different parts of who I am.
I sit here now....28 years old, a single mother of one and just now starting to see who I am.
I honestly couldn't say the right words to give justice to this process I'm going through.
I will probably try to write about it tomorrow. It's nearly 2 am.....and I couldn't sleep. Had a little anxiety and found myself waking up with night sweats and such. I have had about 4 nights great sleep......which have been great since I was not sleeping well for months. So hopefully this is just from the fact that I had a big day....;o)
Thought this was aptly named as I have been doing a bit of self reflection over the past few days. Nothing too serious but just thinking about some changes I want to make in my daily life and maybe, just maybe, pushing myself beyond my comfort zone and taking a few classes to learn some new skills. it is far too easy to become compliant.
Just playing with reflection using the timer and natural light in my room
Please view, comment and critique my pictures as I appreciate any opinions in the quest to learn and develop in composing/shooting :)

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.
