The water is wide, I cannot cross o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
~traditional folk song
I used to sing that with my vocal group in high school. Loved it ever since. Perhaps the most beautiful version here by Hayley Westenra.
Yes that is snow in my hair. Very cold and moody day at the beach overlooking Lake Michigan.

For the FGR 'Self Reflection' Challenge (for group of same name).
I guess this is a photo about fear and about the things 'that are out to get you'. And seeing as I built this dark fantasy, I re-conclude the biggest enemy lies within your mind's ability to create things imagined that make you tremble fearfully (but most of which never come to pass - knock on wood!).
Texture by ghostbones. Blood from dark dragon. Many thanks to you both.
A note on shooting it: Man, was it hard to twist so that you got my reflection in that metal ring but did't see the camera (in my other hand). Bathercise!
Edit: Just saw the film 'What lies beneath' - had no idea how much of a homage to that film this could be!

My friend Judy's six toed cat Spike likes to sit on his pillow facing the wall. One day Judy decided to put a mirror right in front of where he sits so now he sits and stares at himself for hours. It's very odd but it definitely made me smile.
No make up or lip gloss. Just me in the tub reflecting on what makes me happy. I hate when I look back at pictures of myself and see and unsure, unhappy person staring back at me. I don't care how good or slim or sexy I thought I looked, if the feeling didn't reach my eyes it wasn't a good picture.
Lately I've been trying to capture what I feel in a picture. I learned that I can be sexy whether I'm a size 20 or 12...And I can be happy for where I stand today because all of the bad things have made me more aware and a better person.
In this picture I see acceptance, peace, happiness.

It doesn't have to be a perfect picture but it's me

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."

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 South Fork Eel River captured via Minolta MD Zoom Rokkor-X 75-200mm f/4.5 lens via Avenue Of the Giants near the census-designated place of Phillipsville. Humboldt County. Early November 2013.
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. ;)

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!
Photo captured at a sheep ranch, with a hint of Redwood National Park in the background, in the town of Orick. Humboldt County. Early May 2013.
A young woman stands on an infinite pier, holding a frame that endlessly repeats her own image, like a visual mantra of introspection. A translucent maze overlays the scene, symbolizing the winding paths of the mind, the loops of memory, and the journey of identity.
Like a mantra whispered in meditation, the repetition becomes a ritual — a contemplative echo guiding us inward. Between serene surface and inner complexity, the image blurs the line between reality and illusion, inviting reflection on who we truly are.
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.
Photo of the sunset over the Pacific captured from the Vista Point on U.S. Highway 101 in McKinleyville. Humboldt County. Late January 2013.
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.
Taken in Hong Kong with a baby hanging off my chest while trying to navigate massive Christmas crowds and photograph things. Not the most conducive photography environment.
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.

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.
