Semi-candid portrait of a friend's son at his family's annual Australia Day party (January 26).
Our national day is problematic as it is commemorates the arrival of the first European settlers in 1788. The anniverary of federation would be a less racially insensitive date on which to celebrate Australian nationhood but that's January 1st -- most of us would be too hungover. ;)
Photo captured a few miles east of the city of Arcata on California Highway 299. Humboldt County. Late November 2012.

SOOC (Straight Out Of the Camera)
Hi everyone!
As I wrote yesterday I will continue using more my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, I need to practice more with it and actually I really like the results I got till now, so today another portrait, this time again my friend Timo, this time just before he was living the box after his workout. He was ready in his motorbike so, I went to take my camera as fast as I could and approached him to take the photo.
Well, this is my today's pic and now time to get ready to sleep.
Peace!
Slightly edited selfreflection on a car in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app.
It ain't always being easy being a wicked Reflectah, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to make it to the point where I'm at now, and it'll take so much more of both to get me to where I want to be, while all I want, is a looong vacation, lazy me, lol. When I think about this, I always hear this song in my head:
"Sitting in my car watch the stars and smoke
I came a long way but still I got so far to go."

There is no witness so dreadful, no accuser so terrible as the conscience that dwells in the heart of every man.
~Polybius, Greek historian (205-118BC)
I've been toying with this idea and saving this quote for a long time. I think I finally achieved my vision for it. There has been a great deal dwelling in my heart (really my mind, of course) lately. Funny how these flashes of creativity, these brief moments of near greatness come of such unsettling in the soul.

Shot with my trusty Nokia N8. I cropped it in Photoshop and enhanced it a little bit, but in essence this is the photo out of the N8.

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.

Photo of the rugged Santa Lucia Mountains captured alongside the El Sur Ranch on the Old Coast Road in Big Sur. Monterey County. Mid April 2013.
Just trying to show that if we paint our faces and put on a smile, we can often hide the turmoil within. I think that many of us are guilty of hiding our inner feelings at times, be they happy or sad.

the texture of rust thrills me. on these cold but sunny seattle days i never take for granted the seeing of crisp clear shadows. i miss them on the overcast days.
Slightly edited mobile phone cam shot of myself reflected on the backlight of a car in Amsterdam. Taken with my C905 mobile phone. No editing besides some messing around with contrast and saturation, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
You may have heard of the worldfamous crop circles already, but did you know that there are also AmsterCircles out there?! They appear out of nowhere on reflective surfaces and (not too surprisingly really) usually contain a wicked Reflectah pointing some kind of photographic device at the viewer...no, wait, at himself...the viewer...oh well, he's pointing that thing at somebody and just a few days later, mysterious AmsterCircles will pop up all over them InterWebs, hahaha ;-D
Yeah, I know, I'm a funny guy, mhehehehe ;-P
And just in case you forgot already: From October 1 - October 30 you can see some of my wicked reflection photos at the 'MultiCulti' exhibition at the 'ABC Treehouse' in the Voetboogstraat 11, Fridays – Sundays, 1PM-6PM. ('MultiCulti' is part of GRID 2010, 4th International Photography Biennial), yay :D

There have been many men who have been so connected to themselves and on their path that they are not wanting to get into a sexual relationship with me because they’re in a state of self-inquiry, self-reflection, abstinence, or whatever it.

#283 of the 365day challenge , I BELIEVE THE TWIN TOWERS WERE TAKEN DOWN BY EXPLOSIVES and the UNITED STATES government or military helped let it happen.
Slightly edited selfreflection on a window in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app.
I'm a total Nature-freak, I have so many plants in my house and on my balcony, that it looks and feels like a jungle, my preferred natural habitat...well, not really, I don't like wild animals or man-eating insects, so let's say urban jungle. To my utter delight, lately I had to realize that I spend so much time surrounded by plants that some kind of osmosis process has started, converting my body into a new half-human-half-plant lifeform, not an unpleasant experience, as I get to hang around chillaxing most of the time, and looking at my leafy hands, nobody is expecting me to get any actual work done anymore anyways, so I'm mostly being left alone in a corner, working on the final stages of my plantness, and as you can see, rather successfully, I am almost there...please water me every now and then, thank you :D

We're Here! looking for Stop Signs.
Today I stop full-time employment, and carefully go into that intersection called Retirement.
You can see my reflection in the S of Stop!

This was supposed to be for FGR and Self Reflection, but I get the feeling this is too much of a "Look at me! I'm pretty!" shot than they want. Even though this is shot in the mirror at work, and I'm reflected on the stall door behind me. I was inspired last night to do a nice, 3/4 shot portrait....
I also forgot to put lipstick back on for this.
Anyway, I was dressed all in Neutral today. That beige/tan/cream (cashmere! :-D) sweater, brown slacks, and brown shoes. With the blue necklace and earrings. And my brighter lipstick which is kinda an Orangey red.
Anyway, do you know how hard it is to hide when you're a redheaded female in Computer Science??? Teachers I never had knew who I was! As much as I try to dress to not stand out, as much as I want to fade into the background, I just can't. It's impossible. I've sorta oscillated on this. I DO like to wear bright colors. It's just that sometimes I feel awkward doing so. Most techy people are male. Males don't tend to wear, bright, flashy colors. And so I stick out when *I* wear them. But that doesn't matter. I can try to dress with the crowd. I can try to blend in with my surroundings, and the people who surround me. But no matter what, I'm a Norwegian Blue, and the plumage DOES enter into it! (I'm not dead yet!)
