Read the original post here: A Heavy Bag and a Long Shadow.
I carry a heavy bag and drag a long shadow.
In the place I am in, I can’t figure out if I am settling in or preparing for departure.
Just the same as everything else.
Not knowing where we are, who we are.
Stop! Let me get my bearings!
“Think on your feet!” they tell you, keep going, don’t stop.
Don’t ever stop. To stop is to be stuck, frozen, in hell.
Can you stop the earth from rotating?
I push, to stop it and my arms, my back, my mind, are aching from the effort.
To stop is to rebel against living.
On the intake of a deep breath I remember, you may rest.
I let the world go, and it rotates on without loss of momentum.
I rest, and move not my body but notice what moves around me.
The loveliest thoughts and sounds ride in on the breeze and then off into the distance.
I open my eyes and continue on, carrying a heavy bag and dragging a long shadow.
Maybe I don’t know where I am or who I am.
But maybe, I don’t need to know.
"Self Reflection" by Loree Johnson Photography. A western grebe (Aechmophorus occidentalis) contemplating its own reflection at Tulelake National Wildlife Refuge, California.
Another 35mm film photography assignment. It's me in the bathroom mirror myspace style lol. Not exactly your usual facebook/myspace shot though is it? Tried something different by using a flash on "slave" mode and fully exposing myself(hahaha) with the flash, no ambient light since the lights were off in the bathroom.
Photo of me as a fresh soul in this world taken by my proud father 1977.... now years later trying to remain the innocence and dreams of making a difference in the direct world around us. the future of the world is the kids of today, by remembering where we came from we should make a stamp of the world already today!
Photo of the South Fork of the Eel River captured from Avenue of the Giants near the census-designated place of Phillipsville. Humboldt County. Early March 2013.
Religion is so strongly embedded in daily life that offering scenes like this in Kathmandu's noisy and crowded rush hours are so common that as spectator you're forced to be solidary in a moment of silence or selfreflection.
Be patient dear friends, I'm still searching my way thru more than 2000 photo's of our journey to Nepal and with a busy working weekend ahead, I have to cancel uploading until next week
A photo serioes of self portraits taken by my friend Nick Larson. This is a depiction and representation of diving deeper into myself. A conceptual thought process of who I am.
There's nothing I dislike more than being at the mercy of other people's decisions. This is 2012 and this marks a new begining in my life. I will do the things I love and experience the world and finally be my own person. If you think I'm crazy, I ask you, "What would you do with a day in my shoes?"
Today marks the start of my 365 project :) I will also be completing my abc project simultaneously. Hooray for the New Year :D
Photo captured off of California Highway 299 near the city of Alturas. Modoc County. "State of Jefferson." Late March 2013.
This is the first photo in my photo essay. I wanted to draw a lot of influence from the still life artists of the 17th/18th century to explain a little more about myself. This is the area where I spend my time on work or maybe to think on certain things. It's also a place I use to charge my laptop when it's almost out of battery.
Photo captured via the HDR method photography at Whiskeytown Lake. Shasta County. Late October 2012.
