Lost in a haze of self reflection a patron ponder his life.
It's this type of street photography that I derive the most satisfaction in capturing that one moment in time that defines an image.
Photo captured along Dyerville Road at Founders Grove near Avenue of the Giants. Humboldt County. Late May 2013.
This image was originally taken for Macro Monday's "Seeing Double" Theme. You can see the original image below in comments. Two texture images and a lot of sliding resulted in this image.
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.

Have been doing a lot of this recently, reflecting that is, and generally the thoughts are in color. :-)))
Please click on the photo to view in the light box.
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)
See more of my works and support my future and current shoots

Your soul is all that you possess. Take it in hand and make something of it!

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).

Sanaz Mazinani (b. Tehran, Iran, 1978). Threshold. 2015/2024
Acrylic mirror, silicone, wood, steel, paint, digital video & sound file.
Sound Composition by Mani Mazinani. Courtesy of the artist, Stephen Bulger Gallery, and Edward and Marla Schwartz.
“Mirrors are often regarded as offering a transparent and unbiased view of reality. In Threshold, mirrors are used to situate the viewer between reality and distorted images, encouraging self-reflection and self-awareness.
Sanaz Mazinani’s work uses intricate laser-cut mirror panels inspired by Islamic architecture. These mirrors reflect images of the viewer and intermingle them with video projections - a coming together within a fractured dimension. The video is created using multiple scenes of explosions taken from Hollywood movies, evoking Mazinani’s childhood experiences of war and conflict.
By mirroring and multiplying these scenes, Mazinani transforms the shocking explosions into kaleidoscopic compositions that captivate the visitor’s attention. Her artwork questions the over exposure and manipulation of conflict in the media industry and the distorted reality that these images create.
Sanaz Mazinani is an artist, academic, and educator based in Toronto. She works across the disciplines of photography, sculpture, and large-scale multimedia installations. Mazinani creates informational objects that invite us to rethink how we see. Her work has been shown internationally and is held in public collections including the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Aga Khan Museum.”

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!
