A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 ─ 1832)
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.

Cuando estoy frente a un espejo suelo verme a los ojos
y entonces hago gestos graciosos.
¿Que cual de mis fotos es mi preferida? La que haré mañana.

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.

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!

Spesso mi chiedo a cosa sia dovuta quella sensazione di bellezza o di meraviglia che pervade la mente in certi momenti di contemplazione.. eppure, la nostra visione del mondo è "semplicemente" causata da un miscuglio di onde elettromagnetiche a molte frequenze, che vengono assorbite o riflesse dai vari materiali.
Eppure questo incredibile e mutevole rimbalzare di particelle di luce entra nei nostri occhi, negli obbiettivi delle nostre macchine fotografiche e diventa emozione imponderabile, ricordo, stupore... il nostro cervello trasforma tutto questo senza nemmeno fare la fatica di pensarci..
ma, in fondo, non è fatta così anche la natura del pensiero stesso? :)

... tout ce qui existe a son propre reflet... C'est aussi ce qui nous rend différent... Même ce magnifique voilier qui vogue paisiblement, a aussi le sien ... ondulé ...

" Self-Reflection " ... everything that exists has its own reflection… It is also what makes everything different… Even this splendid sail boat which sails peacefully sailing , has also its own wavy reflection…
