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.

Photo captured during sunset at the Vista Point near the Berry Summit along California Highway 299 via Minolta MD Zoom Rokkor-X 75-200mm f/4.5 lens about 10 miles west of the census designated place of Willow Creek. Humboldt County. Mid November 2013.
#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 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

Selfreflection on a car in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app.
I've spent the last 2 months working way too much, using up all my energy and positive thoughts, now I'm just an empty shell that does nothing else but wake up, bike to the office, spend a harsh day filled with activities that require my full attention and focus, even though they don't deserve them, and that force me to erase any and all traces of a (social) life. All I get in return is more harshness, unreasonable demands, expectations as high as the freakin' Twin Towers (when they were still standing, obviously :) and little 'mistakes' at the accounting department that ensure that I'm not even getting paid a cent for having worked every freakin' Friday, my usual day off, since the beginning of February.
This is not a situation that I would wish on anybody, least of all myself, but that's what I wake up to every day, and every day I need to muster all my spirit and positivity just to make it out of bed and to work without crying like a wee little baby, needless to say that there is nothing left to put into taking pictures or spending quality time with my (Interwebs) friends, so as of now I will only post one picture a day, instead of the usual 3, until I won't even have the resources left to achieve that, hopefully that's not gonna happen, I am addicted to this shizzle :)
The good part is that soon I won't have enough energy to complain about my situation anymore, so you should not see too many of these cry-baby posts in the future, lol :D
Have a relaxed weekend!

Photo captured via Minolta MD Zoom Rokkor-X 75-200mm f4.5 lens at Garrapata State Park in Big Sur. Monterey County. Late October 2013.
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!)

Selfreflection in a bar in Amsterdam last night. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app.
Last night I went to a bar with some colleagues after work and as almost always when I go out, I ended up drinking too much and spend a great evening with lots of laughter, beer, smokes and a delirious madman bike-ride through the seemingly ever-shifting and itself rearranging landscape of an Amsterdam night, oh what fun! Now my head hurts, my stomache is grumbling and I'm even too tired and hungover to drag my limp body into the shower for a refreshing wake-up wash, so if you are in the area, maybe you could climb up to my Penthouse and give me a push and a shove in the general direction of the bathroom, thank you very much :D
Have an wicked weekend, the sun is shining!

This photo shows a beautiful golden Buddha statue in what appears to be a Thai Buddhist temple or shrine. The statue features the characteristic pointed crown-like ushnisha (topknot) and displays serene, contemplative features. The Buddha is portrayed in traditional style with a gold finish that gleams in the light. In the background, you can see colorful temple decorations including what looks like a yellow ceremonial umbrella and green and white floral arrangements or offerings. There also appears to be some currency or printed material visible on the left side of the image. This type of Buddha statue is a common sight in Thai temples and represents important aspects of Buddhist iconography and spiritual significance in Southeast Asian Buddhist traditions.
Photo captured at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park near McWay Falls via Minolta MD Celtic 28mm f/2.8 Lens in Big Sur. Monterey County. Late October 2013.
For the FGR group of the day, SELF-REFLECTION.
Yeah, I know sometimes I go overboard with the processing. But I thought that the processing on this one made it particularly fun. :)

Photo looking towards Trinidad Head and the Trinidad Lighthouse active captured via ND-8 Filter from Clam Beach County Park. Humboldt County. Late March 2013.
What a wacky special edition, and by "wacky" I mean a bit dull really. Nice shade of green, though. It turns out that there were also Pink Floyd and Bon Jovi special editions as well. The logo is from the Voodoo Lounge album and tour of 1995. So this car has lasted 14 years and is still in fair nick.
