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.

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) ;-)
in the belly of munich, the marienplatz underground station thrums with the rhythm of the city. commuters flow through the arteries of the metro, each a cell in the organism of urban life. fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow on tiles and posters, illuminating scenes of mundane beauty. a man adjusts his hair, a silent ballet against the backdrop of motion and stillness, a microcosm of city life captured in a fleeting moment of self-reflection amidst the daily dance of the commute.
^^
Another day, another kairos overflowing with self-expression, self-reflection and possibly a touch of self-absorption.
So here's a question to you photographers: Do we add a piece of ourselves to every portrait we make? or does every subject add a little something to us? Discuss.

"Seduce my mind and you can have my body. Find my soul and I'm yours forever." -Anonymous. I guess no one wanted to take credit for the quote, lol. I can hear it now, 'Yeah, I said it, but please don't quote me on that'. But, but, but, you said it!! 'Yeah, but no one has to know I'm the one that said it.' All righty then...... :))

2019 | the year of contemplation
2018 was the year of intent....
| when i was spending time with family, i was present in those moments and memories.
| when i was engaging in photography... i was mindful of the moment, shooting with intent and purpose.
| when we traveled, it was with a plan and direction.
| when i gave of myself, it was because i truly wanted to and with my best heart and intent.
| when we made decisions, it was with a deep intent; the biggest of this year being the decision to delay our move.
this word.. intent. changed my life over the course of 2018.
- it allowed me to be more aware of self, selflessness and selfishness.
- it helped bring me back to purpose when i would lose my way or get stuck in the mundane of life's chores.
- it made me more aware and conscience of the universe, my actions and my reactions.
- it helped me to see outside myself... and realize it isn't always about 'me.'
- it allowed me to connect to people on a deeper consciousness of love and light.
- it raised my frequency and opened my mind to the concept of 'living.'
2019 will be the year of contemplation.. i desire to go deeper.

“I want to be the best version of myself for anyone who is going to someday walk into my life and need someone to love them beyond reason.”
― Jennifer Elisabeth, Born Ready: Unleash Your Inner Dream Girl
Sitting quietly by a small stream, an immediate way to calm one's mind and reset one's senses.
Water moving gently over stones. A steady, natural rhythm.
Sunlight glinting off small ripples while green plants and moss frame the water.
Cool, damp breezes carry the earthy scent of wet soil and fresh growth.
A favourite place to be, both physically and mentally.

Almost accidentally stumbled upon this area while walking towards the University city part of Philadelphia which I thought would provide decent photo opportunities. The water was calm and the lights were just magical.
