Revisited the same little tulip patch up on Sheppard Ave East nr Downsview one week on. Don’t ask why! These tulips well open showing much more orange than last week.

Here an old self portrait from November 2009 photoshopped up. Was playing with layers as an experiment for a project and this accidental mix kind of stuck as an image that captures my mood these days. Things are all overlapping, focus isn’t clear, things feel out of step…
The image a literal reflection of all this but says much more to me, i just can’t put my finger on it exactly. someone i know wrote “How do I write about myself? How does someone who doesn’t know me write about me?” I feel the same way, especially with my photography, which has been a journey into knowing myself and the world around me. I feel I am doing ok on what I see outward but damn the looking in part I don’t think I’ll ever get it… maybe one day, or maybe I’m there already and this is it and now it’s down to being content with myself as i am… a never ending project this photography, this journey, this life…
