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.

I was inspired by this photo; lying on cars.

I FINALLY got to go outside for a walk today! It has been a horrible winter so far. We have gotten 118 inches of snow and the temperature has bottomed out around -41 F with the windchill at times. Today it was a sultry 44 F!
This image is from the cemetery today. I am standing in the middle of the cemetery. In places, I was walking through water nearly 8-10 inches deep. Bizarre.

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.
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!

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
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!
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.
