Inside One's Head
~
A lot of things go on inside this head-- simultaneously, even. When interacting with my environment there is all of the normal inputs to contend with, i.e. hearing, smelling, seeing, tasting, feeling-- in short sensing. All of the information or data from the external environment is processed and manipulated and an output may or may not be produced, depending upon the situation. Output is in the usual forms of speech and actions. In addition there are many marvelous happenings occurring within this head at all times, i.e. thinking. Thoughts are occurring in a continuous stream of plotting & planning, contemplation, remembering, etc. When no organized or logical or deep thinking is going on, then thoughts occur randomly. All kinds of novel things are always being thought up. Some thoughts are forgotten, some are stored for future reference, some are acted upon. At times it is a jumbled-up mess, other times relatively tidy. Some thoughts produce other thoughts, possibly forming a chain reaction-- the 'wow' factor. Very rarely there is little or no activity inside, which usually happens when bored, however boredom seems to be a foreign concept to me. Oftentimes there is even brain activity when asleep, called dreaming, which may or may not be accompanied by sensory effects-- black & white or color visual movies that may be whimsical or realistic and sometimes have sound tracks, too. So, it is quite an active mind, perhaps a little too active and overworked at times. So it goes.
Oftentimes I do a lot of just plain thinking. I think about a lot of things: Sometimes everything in general and nothing in particular. But there are times when there is an overriding thought that dominates my thinking. This is commonly spoken of as "having something on one's mind." This dominate thought could be pleasant or worrisome depending. It is not unusual for recurring thought patterns to appear from time to time. Recurring themes also crop up and may manifest themselves in the form of fantasies, daydreams, or regular dreams. On occasion bizarre thoughts occur. These far-out happenings are possible in many states of consciousness whether altered or whatever. Confusion may set in when several of the above happen together in unpredictable combinations, and could conceivably present problems, perhaps "brain strain!" Or worse yet, over-thinking could possibly produce overloaded circuits or "brain drain." Almost everything is possible, but not necessarily probable. The mind is a beautiful thing and seems to be unlimited and must always be active. I think therefore I must think.
Thinking can be considered as the essence of living. Or thinking can be thought of as an model of real life within the mind. There is a whole world of thought within my mind in which I live. Basically, there are three currents of thought or 'living' going on. First, there is living IN the past-- memories. Then there is living FOR the future-- plans. And finally, there is the present-- living NOW-- existing. Of the three I consider the past or memory of it to have the most influence on my life. It is possible to accuse me of living in the past, but wait. Although the past has already been lived, it can be relived over and over again within the mind. On several occasions I have been accused of "living in a world of my own," often to the exclusion of the real world around me at the time. Actually this is nothing more than doing 'mind trips' or living with my thoughts. Thinking IS the surely best way to travel. The ultimate trip! However, this is not the only use to which memories are put. The past and everything that has happened in it shapes present behavior and thoughts and also influences future outcomes. The past is a stage upon which the present is acted. Memories serve as a foundation on which the future is built and planned. Memory is food for thought that provides material for thinking and triggers new thinking while providing a frame of reference for understanding. The past is important but the future and present have their value also and must not be overlooked. Everything is indeed beautiful in its own way.
Now, with all this in mind (no pun intended), what is inside one's head right now? That is a good question and one deserving a thoughtful answer. Hmm, let me think about that...
As I write this there are many things in the immediate environment (surrounding sights, from several sources, sundry smells, et cetera) that I am aware of, some things that I am not aware of, and some things that I choose to ignore, i.e. there are many inputs and I am continually sorting them inside my head. It is to be remembered that writing this "off the top of my head," as it were, requires not only brain activity in thinking up what is to be written, considering all the possibilities, and its final composition but, also, the physical process of writing requires brain activity to accomplish. Just putting my thoughts on paper requires a lot of thinking both consciously and unconsciously, disregarding any distractions.
In addition, there are certainly a lot of random thoughts kicking around in there presently. This all may appear confusing and may seem to be be quite a bit of thinking to be going on inside my head, but the marvelous mind is miraculously able to handle all of this without giving it a second thought because normally most of the brain of a person lies idle most of the time and parts may be totally unused. To top all of this off, there are dominant and recurring thoughts asserting themselves; some controllably, some uncontrollably.
Specifically, what is happening in one's head right now? Well, the answer to this question requires some deep digging and some careful reading between the lines with imagination.

Thinking of my dear friend, Kelly Dilello-Smith , who is not well at this time.
The last of the Fall colors here at Riversong (what we call our home on the Elk River).
The "Six Thinking Hats" is a creative thinking method invented by Edward de Bono early in the 1980s. It helps thinkers to be more effective and innovative by providing a means to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way. Gagarin has applied the method to pencils for a more practical brainstorm meeting method.
The pencils are colour coded and each colour stands for a certain direction of thinking. Each participant selects one pencil and then approaches the discussion with a mindset matching the pencil's colour. By switching pencils the participants systematically redirect their thoughts on the subject. This ensures that the group thinks together in a focused manner.

Hope wondering where her adventures will take her. She's so excited to travel in support of the cause and I anxious to meet her mom. We love you Mandy! xoxo
I miss you
I been thinking about you
sitting on the edge with the pallid
light of the moon
I look at the sky and I hope you are too
I hope you thinking about me
like I'm thinking about you.
The great thing about a camera like the nex7 is that it's always in my pocket or bag. So when interesting compositions/events happen I've always got something to shoot with.
Saw this guy on the way to work the other morning. I wondered what he must be thinking as he gazed out towards Liverpool for what seemed to be ages. 5 minutes later some big daft dog came galloping up the slipway to him. The owner (this guy) clearly didn't like the idea of getting his shoes sandy ;)

Saw this swan thinking about flying to a more warmer place, with sandy beach and cold drinks...
Shot with my new Canon 70-200mm lens. I just love it. It was worth buying it, no question.
Please rate this picture. What do you like, what could I've made better ;)
Thanks!
Greetings

... and whats on your mind?
I decided to shoot another friend of mine from work - the new breed of multi-tasking-multi-thinking women of today!
She's a crazy person who makes every day at work a lot of fun. Being our publicist she always has her ears on gossip (or is it the other way around?) So for her portrait I wanted to bring out some elements that reflect her personality and her working style.
I had the privilege of shooting Grace, an aspiring young model (in Texas), for her portfolio. She is available for work in modeling and acting. She just has the most beautiful face, that the camera just loves.
One of my first shots taken with my Canon 5D Mark II using my old workhorse lens, a Tokina 80-200 f2.8 ATX. I was visiting a friend and was showing him my new camera when I noticed his mother-in-law sitting by herself at the island across the room. There were a row of 3 hanging lights above the island with one just making it into the frame. The camera was in P mode and auto ISO selected. Without the EXIF data, I would have never believed that the shot was taken at 3200 ISO.
