Ah well, the tilte has nothing to do with the blathering that is about to occur. Woke up at 4 a.m. today with nasty allergies. I've taken everything under the sun and used the "integrative" approach. Homeopathic and OTC's...all to no avail. The pollen count is off the charts and eveyone feels it. I tried to go into the office to work, but lasted only 2 hours. Now, I sit here, induced into a stupor from Benadryl. I am desperate! At leaset I know that in a few weeks or however long it takes, the trees will stop this silly nonsense of releasing in ordinate amounts of pollen into the air and perhaps I can get back to my (ha) state of 'normal'! Alright, alright. The image is not really me, but the image representation and the concept behind it is an aspect of 'me'. It was such a cool graphic image (you've seen it in magazine ads I'm sure), that I just HAD to use it! It is altered to suit my needs. What we reveal of ourselves to others changes from one moment to the next, but we never, ever do a full reveal. Not even to ourselves. Others engage in the masking behavior to the nth degree that they no longer know (or never knew) who they are. I am always in a quest to unmask myslef; some days I do so quite vigorously, others I barely touch the surface. I not only practice on myslef, but others. Helps me to be the compassionate person that I want to be. However, my task that lay before me is to conquer my digital camera! Being a print film buff all my life (to the point of obsession), I am now trying to add this format to my repetoire. As I have success in this latest quest, images will be posted to this blog. Keep tuning in!
