I think we all have times where we have to stop and open ourselves up to self analysis, be it good or bad.
I've had many periods in my life where I have self analysed and reflected on who I am as a person and what I wish to be in the future... sometimes it instigates huge changes, like moving city, changing career, having a baby or sometimes it's just the little things that I work on, like saying 'I love you' a bit more often or being more forgiving.
At times like this I can feel very vulnerable, because I've lost my confidence in myself, I look in the mirror and am not proud of what I see, for whatever reason and this is why I make the change, not to please other but so I can look in the mirror and be proud of the person staring back at me... for me, that is probably the most important of all my values because it affects every aspect of my life and is intrinsic to my feeling of self worth.

A long day of studying only led to this moment where the sky painted the perfect array of colors and patterns--ultimately allowing one to feel at ease in an unpredictable world. Photo captured outside my apartment in the city of Arcata. Humboldt County. Late September 2013.

When I had hair, I remember the constant fluffing, twisting, playing and running my fingers through it. I find myself still reaching for the shampoo and still automatically reaching for my hair. Now when I reach for my hair I feel my skin and as my family says, "my thick skull". I give myself a hug that I'm still here!

Amsterdam Light Festival
Amsterdam Light Festival is an annual light art festival in Amsterdam. Artists, architects and (light) designers from all over the world bring their light artworks and installations alive during the festival every winter.
Edition #12 is from 30 November 2023 till 21 January 2024. More than twenty light artworks will illuminate the iconic canals of Amsterdam. For Amsterdam Light Festival 2023-2024 we have asked artists to consider the effects of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) on our everyday lives. The ways in which we communicate, engage and create are all impacted by technology and AI. What is the impact on the human condition? How does society change because of this digital evolution? And where are the boundaries? The different perspectives will be highlighted during Edition 12, with the theme: LOADING… Revealing Art, AI and Tech.
The route consists of more than twenty light artworks by the hand of international artists. From renowned names to surprising newcomers and everything in between. We dive deeper into our relationship with personal tech, the mobile phone being at the forefront – we cannot live without it, but sometimes you wish you could throw it in the canal. Subjects such as swarm intelligence, self learning algorithms, facial recognition and motion capture are also explored. What will be next? That is still loading…

As former president Teddy Roosevelt puts it...behold it is the "Eighth Wonder of the World." The water originates from underground springs above and at the falls. Even during the dry summer months and at 129 feet in height, the water provides an almost constant flow rate of 100 million U.S. gallons / day.

We're Here: Self Reflection
I found myself at home unexpectedly on a Saturday {was on call and didn't get called to work} so as I was looking at everyones photos I realized I actually had time to take a photo myself, so I did!

This is yours truly reflected in the sculpture "Cloud Gate" in Chicago's Millenium Park.
Behind me are are the buildings that line Michigan Avenue. If you look at the large view, you can see better how the mirrored surface of the sculpture subtly distorts everything as well as how streaks of dried rain line the reflective surface. ("Subtly distorted" might actually be a good byline for me, now that I think of it.)
As usual, I don't like having my picture taken, but "The Bean" (as Cloud Gate is popularly known) is one of my favorite places.
(Thought this might be a good way to say thanks to everyone out there in Flickr-land for your support, feedback, and kind words about my photos: my photostream just passed 100,000 total views today. Thanks again, everyone! Ain't Flickr grand?)

Every human experience is unique. We all have trials and tribulations, hopes and dreams. What's interesting about this fact is that it puts into perspective how everyone is just like us in the sense that we all undergo a complexity of emotions and experiences. Reflect on that today and let's be compassionate to our fellow human BEings. #InspireDaily - bit.ly/InspireWithWords
