some old favorites(color)

these are just a random assortment of past favorite photographs ive taken over the more recent years with my pentax k1000 slr.

The Hear and Now Digital I

These are five images from my final project in digital one. a very conceptual piece. my concept began with my contemplation of what causes so many people so much anxiety. the conclusion i came to was one involving that bothersome concept we all have of time, that whole past present and future thing. i realized that we always reflect on the past to learn from it and are always trying to plan for the future so much that we are forgetting about the tense of time and space we are actually only ever in which is the hear and now! living in the past or living for the the future causes one to only contemplate something which does not exist anymore or yet. these images are snapshots i took when i felt very conscious and appreciative of the present moment, when i look at these photos i dont reminisce i don't think about my planning for the shot and each time i look at them i try to stay concious of my present moment right now and feel as if im looking at them for the first time. these images are my effort to alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and frustration that time infects us with.

its very late tonight sorry if there are any spelling errors or runon sentences..ill check it later, maybe.

reflective portraits [continued]

These next three images are of my friend matt, they are a portrait of him and his relation to his tattoos, which he tells me many more are on the way.
i think about the reasoning for tattoos and why people get them, being someone who does not have any i noticed i have never given it serious thought. matt said that he had always wanted them since a kid. i wondered why people with tattos desired to engrave their skin with permanent color, permanent being the most frightening concept to me. matt answered "your body is a canvas." i agreed.
the body is the reflection of who we are on the inside represented on the outside. to me when people say the eyes are the window to the soul i would say that their faces are pressed to close to the window, to step back and get a full image of whats on the inside we would have to understand that every skin cell of the person in front of us contributes to the full window of whats inside. if the body is a canvas then one would have to step back and view the full piece in its entirety to completely appreciate how each part of it was consciously constructed to express the individuals own honest expression of their own internal thoughts, feelings and emotions.
