A subtle play on a self-reflection in a glass doorway entrance inside the massive concrete Ross Building (1970), York University Toronto.
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) ;-)
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.

reflection in the window on the 30th floor
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.
Was looking for a place to have lunch when I stumbled upon this wonderful aged building with reflective windows. Had a trying time taking this shot as I had to wait for the precise moment when there are no vehicles on the road! And boy, Surabaya do have a whole lot of motorbikes and cars. Talk about the perfect timing...

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.

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.

When I wake up/ in the morning/ I pour the coffee/ read the paper/ then I slowly/ and so softly/ do the dishes/ feed the fishes/ sing me Happy Birthday/ sing it like it's going to be your last day/ like it's halleujah/ don't just let it pass on through ya/ it's a giant among cliches/ and that's why I want you to sing it anyway/ sing me Happy Birthday/ cause hell what's it all about/ anyway/ sing me Happy Birthday/ Happy Birthday/ like it's gonna be your last day/ here on earth

Uh... no pun intended?
This is the last image I'm posting tonight (I can hear you all breathing a sigh of relief), and was made with the digital (obviously) in Belle Isle Castle, Ireland.
I keep asking myself why I take pictures. Why am I photographer? The truth is....I'm not sure. I've always liked creating things and being an introvert, photography was something I could do on my own.
I enjoy documenting the world around me and a lot of my photos are around my house because I just don't get out that often or I don't bring my camera with me enough when I do get out.
One of the best things about being a generalist in photography, I can shoot whatever I want which is great but it also means I'll never be really good one particular genre. I've never really been good at anything in life, photography has really been the only thing that people actually seem to like from me. That makes me happy and brings joy to my life when people enjoy my work.
As you may have noticed, I'm not as active on Flickr as I once was. Flickr has become a big time suck for me, I was spending hours and hours a day looking at other peoples photos and usually commenting on them but that was taking time away from me and It may sound selfish but I need time to work on me to become a better person and a better photographer. I also want to get back into making YouTube videos as well.
I don't know. I was Lightroom and I saw this photo of me being reflected in this hubcap and kind of had one of those self reflection moments about why I take pictures. I've been too hard on myself lately when it comes to photography. It's suppose to be a fun thing, I shouldn't stress out over it.
I realized that I focused so much on the numbers and that's not what photography is about.
So I want to have fun taking pictures again, I don't want to think about whether or not people will like this photo or not because in the end, it doesn't matter. I'm the only one who has to like it and if others don't, they that's fine too. I enjoy sharing my photos with the world because that one photo could make a difference in someone out there. It could put a smile on that one person that's having a real bad day. That's worth it to me.
If you read all of this, Thank you. Means a lot ot me.
