Have been doing a lot of this recently, reflecting that is, and generally the thoughts are in color. :-)))

An Idea that popped into my head. May see a few of me as part of my bucket list to get 12 Self Portraits I deem worthy of framing or printing at the end of the year. I am glad my muse helped with my idea in the month of January!
saw this woman on the stoop of her building in midtown, as i was walking to lunch. i hoped i could get this picture. but i had run out of film. so i stopped. i reloaded the camera. prefocussed. walked by. shot.
this is the first frame of this roll.
most of the other images on that roll were not worth mentioning.
not completely sure what it is about the film pictures that makes them calmer and less frantic. i think i shoot at a similar speed when shooting film. maybe i am more thoughtful. maybe i try to imagine more precisely what it could be that might help the shot? and perhaps the distance helps too. i have maybe 50 exposed films sitting in the freezer now. i have no idea what i shot on those films. maybe when i finally take the time to have them developed, maybe when i finally take the time to look at them. maybe the encounter will be more meaningful than staring at the photos in the import window of lightroom, or on the small display of the M9 (or another digital camera for that matter.) perhaps the distance is important. perhaps it is good to try to make things work, and then to step away. maybe a few months would be good as a distance. maybe even years. immediate sharing is probably cool for some things. but some other things just need their time.

Digital manipulation
Today I had some pretty intense thoughts come to mind. I had a great woman's bible study meeting tonight. Which provoked even more intense thoughts. I had a great conversation with a great friend and talked about these things.
I haven't been myself for a very long time.....I have long been changing, manipulating, hiding, selective showing, leaning, weaning.....different parts of who I am.
I sit here now....28 years old, a single mother of one and just now starting to see who I am.
I honestly couldn't say the right words to give justice to this process I'm going through.
I will probably try to write about it tomorrow. It's nearly 2 am.....and I couldn't sleep. Had a little anxiety and found myself waking up with night sweats and such. I have had about 4 nights great sleep......which have been great since I was not sleeping well for months. So hopefully this is just from the fact that I had a big day....;o)
Your soul is all that you possess. Take it in hand and make something of it!

Double trouble, two new cameras for me in 2025. Hoping to shoot more analog during the year on an #minoltaX700 with a #rokkor45mmf2 and a digital fixed with the #fujix100vi
Have a great day...dear friends! :-)

B3 - this energy motivates you to analyse your self.
"Who am I?"
A3 would motivate to the question:
"Do I look ok?"
If you are interested in your psyche, your dreams and your consciousness, be sure this interest is empowered by B3.
HKD
Energy B3 motivates: Find out who you are.
When I felt unhappy with myself and the world, the key to happiness lay in my self. I could not change the world, but the way I see the world has changed dramatically. These changes are very welcome to me because they caused inner peace.

Seelenlandschaften
Dieses ist ein „Seelenbild”, das heißt es zeigt einen innerseelischen Vorgang.
Dieser Vorgang wird auch Selbstbetrachtung oder Selbstanalyse genannt. Selbstanalyse ist die Voraussetzung für inneren Frieden mit mir und meiner Umwelt.
Mit anderen Worten: Ich bin nicht mehr abhängig davon, was andere von mir denken. Kein Verbiegen mehr, sondern authentisches Sein.
Im Prozess der Selbstbetrachtung wandelt sich die von Außen herangetragene Kritik und wird durch den Vorgang der Selbstkritik ersetzt. In der letzen Stufe wird die Selbstkritik von innerem Frieden abgelöst.
Innerer Friede ist die Gnade, sich selbst so akzeptieren zu können, wie man ist. Äußere Kritik kann dieser inneren Ausbalanciertheit kaum noch etwas anhaben.
Mit diesem Bild möchte ich einen wichtigen Aspekt der Energie B3 zeigen. Dieser löst Selbstbezogenheit aus. Doch keineswegs narzisstische.
Mirror Mirror ist das Gegenteil der Energie, zu der A3 motiviert. Wer einen starken Schub von dieser Energieform bekommt, wird automatisch narzisstisch. Viele kennen das Märchen Schneewittchen und die Eitelkeit der bösen Königin. In diesem Zusammenhang taucht die berühmte Frage auf: „Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand, wer ist die Schönste im ganzen Land?“ Eitelkeit und Narzissmus gehen Hand in Hand.
Mit dem oben gezeigten Bild ist es die psychoanalytische Selbstbespiegelung gemeint. Daher ist der Schatten von A3 – B3, die Tiefenpsychologie.
Psychologische Betrachtungen durch A3 bleiben an der Oberfläche (äußeres Leben)– B3 geht in die Tiefe (inneres Leben).

Abstracted and distorted reflections of the photographer and the garden setting by the stainless-steel pock-marked sculpture in a tertiary institution campus in Melbourne.
Taken with the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM prime.
In John Bryan State Park, Yellow Springs, Ohio.
The master playing with his reflection in the water.
Pretty ho-hum.
How many masks do we have to uncover within ourselves until we grasp a hint of who we really are?
Sometimes I feel desiccated, emotionless...and wonder if the lack of emotion is a mask or if it is somehow another layer I have peeled off.
Thank you guys who've still kept up with my stream even though I've been MIA for a while, catching up slowly!

Taken in my favourite Toronto green space where they recently put up a mirrored pole to allow people to see their reflection in a landscape.

Smartphones and people. A moment of self-reflection during the walk past all the light artworks. Corner with the Leidsegracht (in the background).

Amsterdam Light Festival
Amsterdam Light Festival is an annual light art festival in Amsterdam. Artists, architects and (light) designers from all over the world bring their light artworks and installations alive during the festival every winter.
Edition #12 is from 30 November 2023 till 21 January 2024. More than twenty light artworks will illuminate the iconic canals of Amsterdam. For Amsterdam Light Festival 2023-2024 we have asked artists to consider the effects of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) on our everyday lives. The ways in which we communicate, engage and create are all impacted by technology and AI. What is the impact on the human condition? How does society change because of this digital evolution? And where are the boundaries? The different perspectives will be highlighted during Edition 12, with the theme: LOADING… Revealing Art, AI and Tech.
The route consists of more than twenty light artworks by the hand of international artists. From renowned names to surprising newcomers and everything in between. We dive deeper into our relationship with personal tech, the mobile phone being at the forefront – we cannot live without it, but sometimes you wish you could throw it in the canal. Subjects such as swarm intelligence, self learning algorithms, facial recognition and motion capture are also explored. What will be next? That is still loading…
The rules change at 40 piersey.com/hormones-humbled-me-at-40/ Hormones shift. Cravings get weird. Stress lands heavier. This post breaks down how I stopped fighting it and finally built a lifestyle that made sense for this season of life.

“Knick Knack”
A self-portrait that delves into the depths of the self, as the face is captured within the eye, symbolizing introspection and the examination of one's innermost thoughts and emotions.
