I am haunted by Samantha Kelly's last words, scribbled on the wall in her bedroom where she hung herself. How can a 14 year old girl eat dinner with her family, excuse herself to go "do homework" and then quietly take her own life? I need this to make sense. I need to understand. I need answers and there aren't any. Would I feel any better if there were?
Why do I care? Why do I feel so strongly for some teenage kid I never knew? I didn't know her family. I don't even have any kids of my own. There are countless tragedies everyday from which to pick and choose. Why do these teen suicides hit me so hard?
I feel a strong need to do something. Everyone has a cause or an issue that motivates them. I want teenage suicide to be mine. I don't want another kid to suffer the way Samantha and Phoebe and Tyler and Asher and countless others did. I want to help, but I don't know where to begin.
I have a lot of young contacts here on flickr. You are all some of the most amazing, kind, caring, beautiful, and inspiring people I have ever met. I am asking you, my young friends, for help. You are on the front lines of this issue everyday. Is the issue being discussed in your schools? Is there a well publicized process for obtaining help? Like, if you are suffering depression and have suicidal thoughts, is there a person or place you can go for help without fear of judgement? How best to stop the bullying? How to get those suffering torment to see the value in their lives? When all else fails, how do we provide last ditch help and get the despondent to accept it? I want to hear your thoughts, ideas, suggestions. Together we can prevent another tragedy.
I promise I'll get back to my normal good natured self soon. I've got lots of film just waiting to be scanned and uploaded.
What happened?
You wake up
You discover your life isn't going how you wish. Too many years self pity.
Now, now is the time to change. You have a reason and a need to.
So as you work, the question remains:
Will you fade away on this as you have before?

#306 of the 365 day challenge. i have an awful look on my face! stiff and worried...but i had fun cloning...and it's my first attempt. i need to learn patience and shoot more slowly! those paintings i did also. if you want to clone yourself take several pics of yourself with your cam on a tripod totally still then put them into photoshoppe or gimp software and then use the lasso tool and copy and paste all of you into one shot and line them up and viola!

The advent of arrows
Foreshadows the dream
The serpents shaft of tourmaline
A spark of greif for a life unseen
It's the spiders eye of tourmaline
A garland of glances
At what might have been
The brazen cymbals of tourmaline
To stand aloof in a field of dreams
The serpent knows
Tourmaline
The spider says
I will mark the seams
But the serpent knows
Tourmaline
Inspired by Harold Budd
Been a weird summer. I never post self portraits & do not know if I will try more.. but I figured I give a creative take on one.
Best to all My Flickr Friends
Often in life, one must cleanse the soul; undergoing a series of self reflective exercises to uncover the highs and lows pertaining to one's life. Just like this photo depicts beautiful Mount Lassen, and its reflection on the lake, life sometimes can and will display the obvious to your very own eyes. Live, love and enjoy life. Photo of Mount Lassen captured at Manzanita Lake. Shasta County. Late October 2012.
Photo of the rugged Santa Lucia Mountains, part of the Coast Ranges, captured at post-mile marker 1.00 at the Monterey County Line in Big Sur. Monterey County. Early May 2013.

I can't really claim this as my own. I saw something almost exactly like this on flickr a few nights ago. I've searched high and low, but I can't find it again. If you know the image, please either link it or message me and I'll link it to this one.
This is one thing I really love about flickr right now - there's a mind boggling amount of exposure to other photographers/ideas/styles. I can (and do) spend literally hours falling down the rabbit hole. I'll sit in awe sometimes and wonder how he/she did something so cool, and occasionally (today) I'll get off my butt and try to teach myself how to do it. And from here I can take what I learned in more original directions.
In other news, I still find self-portraiture really awkward and embarrassing - at least for me it is.
*Side note: I don't actually wear glasses. I tried the picture with and without, and it works better with them. Make fun of me accordingly

{film} This was one of my "shit, I need to bring this camera back now" shots. Excuse the poor posture and the hair that badly needs a cut.
We found out last night that our offer on the house we checked out earlier this week was accepted. Inspection is starting today and if all goes well, we'll be able to move in at some point in mid to late January.

how many people taking photos with both eyes open?
for me: instead of looking like that, this is more close to the reality. =)

Unedited mobile phone cam shot of myself shot with the timer of my mobile, reflected in a puddle in Amsterdam. Taken with my C905 mobile phone. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
A while ago I've posted my first self-shot puddle self portraits, a new style I've developed this year that, as far as I can tell, has not been challenged or copied by anybody else, making me by default the wickedest Reflectah out there, of course only until one day some whiz kid will come and outwicked me, making my reflection shots look boring and old, while his/her style will be refreshing to look at, easy on the eyes and will sell like hot buns at the bakery, leaving me behind in the dust, sitting by some dried up puddle, the only reflective surfaces around my wide, teary eyes that look on in shock&horror as that little spoiled brat takes over the World Domination Plan that I've so carefully prepared, and becomes the new ruler of all the puddles on this planet...unless I drown him/her in them first, hahahaha :D
Yes, that's why they call me the 'wicked Reflectah' and not the 'boring, plays by the rules Reflectah' ;-P
And to show you just how wicked I can get, here's a world premiere, my first ever self-filmed AmsterS@m self reflection movie!
