Self-I-Portrait (only default settings) 000 and Fairytales Text Watermark No Shadow Text

Without the Shadow Text to define the White Letters the image almost loses the initial part of the title, “Self-I-Portrait,” yet, “(only default settings) 000 and Fairytales,” remains easily legible in white without specific shadow created to bring about definition. The loss of, “Self-I-Portrait,” from the image with that text being consumed by light added to the original photographs allows for ideas of the loss of ego into another identity, at least whilst the light effect takes ahold in this representation of the portraits. Something lost is often something gained and always something changed which is almost all that we can hope for.

Yesterday whilst helping transfer Apps and Settings from phone to phone I heard a quiet Fairytale song. Whilst providing New Apps from Old Apps I was struck with an Aladdin themed potential. I took a couple of self portraits with the front facing camera. There was a quick edit made in Google Photos and then I sent these images from the phone via email to myself. From the new images freshly created I attempted to introduce an old style and visual content to bring about a classic look with some Fairytale potential. The old me is busy transforming into the new me and I am taking time to bring about positive transformations as magical as Fairy and listening to the Seasonal Elemental Songs* to make some moments well worthy for a Tale. Winter is releasing the cold grip on me that takes away the memory of the warm days and annihilates the possibilities of comfortable nights. There is a reflection now for me to look on as I reset my Apps and continue to update my Settings and so right now for me again it is principal Pantomime best foot forward with some, “Once Upon A Time,” towards plenty of, “Happily Ever After.”

*Seasonal Elemental Songs are available for all from Spring Cleaning, Midsummer Dreaming** to Harvest Home and Winter Stocking including recognition of the Sun Festivals at the quarters of the year and any celebrations and observances you enjoy in the rhythm of the annual cycle that also includes an introduction of an extra hour here and a reduction of a surplus hour there to save the daylight.

**Midsummer Dreaming is stated here as some prefer not to over encourage Midsummer Madness as mania is strictly reserved throughout the rigours of polite society.

Pneuma and Exudation releasing spirit and soul leaving the body less whole

The body takes in inspiration and sustenance. The body gives off reflection and the body release spirit and soul as we connect with the everything that makes us whole. Not by any known universal measure do we deliver and receive pleasure. Take note of the breath and give voice to song to acknowledge the truth where we belong. To some, happy laughter is living and sad crying is dying. To some, there is a focus on the rhythm of heart and lung to reach out and extend the length, breadth and depth of pulse, beat and breath they will have sung a refrain again and again to failingly embrace all that they have freely, or jealously clung.

The initially window in front of the lens held my perspiration and that was transforming the image. Light was giving strange penumbra to the moisture and individual spheres were forming and growing out of the cloudy layer making new demi spheres and building up exiting ones. To add to the moist expression on the pane I issued breath and watched the two forms of moisture make a pattern that would bring excellent diffusion of light through moisture which would create great photographic images for me. The initial heat in me was creating a very temporary transformation through which I was able to photograph the much more stable world outside the window. The tree in the images shows that in the much more fixed scene outside there is growth with young green shoots and leafs. There is the yearly seasonal cycle that will soon bring the onset of Autumn the time of year when this tree will shed leafs and they will go through a colour change as they end their connection with the tree. The leafs will shortly begin turning from supple vibrant green through to brittle brown. The stark branches of the tree with survive through Winter and in spring they will be the frame that holds the new fresh green leaf growth building up the image of the seemingly Summer stable blossoming boughs. From perspiration changing the view through the window pane the image itself called for breath and certain thoughts of transition began, they continued to keep developing and fortunately they have not stopped.
