I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

This week Frank challenged me to a reflection shot. No water, glass, mirror. My interpretation is very loose.
When you look within yourself do you see the person you thought you would become? Do you see yourself as you truly are?...how about how others see you? How much have you changed and evolved as you continue life's journey. Life's looking glass can be an enlightening experience or a rude awakening.
Check out Frank's interpretaion here.
This is my first attempt at cloning. Successful or not, I had fun with it.

day 4
____________________________
As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.

The late night beeps buzzes and whirs were enough to make Buford lose sleep, but when the nocturnal interlopers started shining a light through his bedroom window, he knew he had to take action. So he loaded magnum rounds into his Mossberg and left the window open. After two rounds to the underbelly of the strange machine, Buford realized that he might have a new problem...........

Each time he tried to touch this perfect youth
The water's surface broke; he'd disappear
The ripples would eventually smooth
That paragon of youth would reappear (Elia Michael)

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.”
Modern Philosophy: An Introduction and Survey
Scruton contends, following Immanuel Kant, that human beings have a transcendental dimension, a sacred core exhibited in their capacity for self-reflection. He argues that we are in an era of secularization without precedent in the history of the world.

To have faith ... does not mean to dwell in the shadow of old ideas conceived by prophets and sages, to live off an inherited estate of doctrines and dogmas. In the realm of the spirit only he who is a pioneer is able to be an heir. The wages of spiritual plagiarism is the loss of integrity; self-aggrandizement is self-betrayal.
-Abraham Joshua Heschel
The authentic individual is neither an end nor a beginning but a link between ages, both memory and expectation. Every moment is a new beginning within a continuum of history. It is fallacious to segregate a moment and not to sense its involvement in both past and future. Humbly the past defers to the future, but it refuses to be discarded. Only he who is an heir is qualified to be a pioneer.

Ordinarily, I use a polariser all the time to control reflections, however, I removed my polariser for my walk around London to avoid the half- to full-stop of light loss. I used a lens hood to keep the optics safe instead, which also helped with eliminating extraneous light.
Viewed through glass, a restaurant interior reveals the scene within; customers at the bar and staff serving food. The reflections merge me as the observer with the scene, blurring the boundary between outside and in. This makes the image more a study of watching and being watched, with the window becoming a membrane rather than a barrier. The reflection makes explicit what is usually implicit in street photography: the photographer is not invisible, merely displaced.
