Is it me?

Dear friend,

I guess you like me look sometimes in the mirror and ask yourself that question: Is it really me? Each of us, I guess, has certain illusion about ourselves and when we are confronted, not necessary with physical, mirror, we can’t believe our eyes.

Positioning mirror is part of it what artists should do. Not only creating emotions, but also showing something which is often overlooked. And as I have also read in diaries from Andrei Tarkovsky, when one make oneself better than everything will turn better. There is no universal global way of changing things. Each one has to start from from him/her self.
Believing in revolutions, convincing I believe is not the right way.

I would be very pleased, if you share your opinion on this subject with me. So do not hesitate and comment, thank you!

    Indeed, start with yourself. I have just re-started my Aikido classes this week after a five year break, not just due to a lack of exercise, but mostly to get the mind freed up and that happens best doing a variety of things in your life. Should help with carrying heavy cameras, too :-D
