Reflection #1 (in no particular order)

So it is now officially February. I graduate in 29 days. A bit of a strange thought. I have been a student for as long as I can remember and in 1 month I will be entering a whole new phase of life! It is super super exciting and yet at the same time I live in a very nice bubble. School is familiar, I know the cycles and what is expected. I know when I get stressed, when I push myself, how to stay inspired, who to turn to when I get overwhelmed. I know where all the campuses are, I know what I'm doing here, I know that what I'm learning has been building up to a ceremony that doesn't last long and yet will be one of the single greatest accomplishments of my still young life. I would love to hear any advise or words of wisdom anyone cares to share!

Over the next month I'm going to try and put up at least one image of reflections, more so literally, however they symbolize the thoughts going through my head of what I have learned during the last three years. Some of the images I took at school, some while vacationing, some while walking though downtown's, some before dawn on mountain tops or alpine lakes. I'll give a snippet for each one.

Starting of is the Santa Ynez River in Santa Barbara, California. I took this my first session at Brooks in 2005, so long ago. I forgot about this image for about 2.5 years. I kind of stumbled over it in the ole' archives. I'm glad I did.



'And since you know you cannot see yourself,
so well as by reflection, I, your glass,
will modestly discover to yourself,
that of yourself which you yet know not of.'
-William Shakespeare
