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!

Poetography: Reflection
My camera fell three feet last night, from the tripod straight onto the front of the lens. I fear this may have been the fatal final straw for my 18-55mm. Sad day.
In lighter news, I have entered an awesome self-portrait contest! I figure it's a long-shot, but I promised myself I would put myself out there more this year, so this is my first attempt. PLEASE OH PLEASE won't you stop by my page and 'rate my portfolio' at the bottom (a good rating preferably) You can rate it once a day for the next 4 days. It would mean so much!
Oh and this picture looks 100x better LARGE!
Your soul is all that you possess. Take it in hand and make something of it!

I don’t know... Perhaps the opposite can also be said: if something is not meant to be, it will never find its way. Just like every word has synonyms and antonyms, the same can be true for life. But sometimes a sunset is so beautiful, and if one is fortunate enough to catch its reflection in the water, I suppose that is meant to be as well. Maybe “meant to be” isn’t always about the big events in life but rather about the small coincidences that we are lucky enough to experience.
Lost in a haze of self reflection a patron ponder his life.
It's this type of street photography that I derive the most satisfaction in capturing that one moment in time that defines an image.

Self-reflection through journaling
Shot through the glass front door of my house & reflecting back through the house to the view out the back windows.
This image was originally taken for Macro Monday's "Seeing Double" Theme. You can see the original image below in comments. Two texture images and a lot of sliding resulted in this image.
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!

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.

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)
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!
Pentax Spotmatic F, SMC Takumar 55mm 1.8 @ 1.8, Kodak Tri-X 400 @ 800 ISO.
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) ;-)
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.
