Aja's Ajna: Open Your Minds

Hey, I'm Aja and I've decided to take on the world of tumblr in my own random way. Right now that just means thoughts and anything I find of interest, but hopefully soon it will once again mean my personal photography as well. Love me or hate me, I just want people's opinions because that means they're thinking about what I'm saying.

Captured this moment on an early morning hike. The spider and the web were covered in dew. - AA

Finally getting back into my photo shoots. Here’s a shot from one of my more recent ones with my friend and model Kat. This picture is one of my absolute favorites because it looks like a water color painting and yet it’s completely unedited. I got this look by using a clear plastic shower curtain as a divider between her and the camera. Gotta love ingenuity :)

By Adrián Villar Rojas, a most fascinating environmental sculpture, a to scale blue whale situated in Ushuaia, Ukraine. The subtle addition of the tree stumps to make it look like it is already being assimilated by nature, brilliant touch.

When you sell a man a book you don’t sell just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humour and ships at sea by night - there’s all heaven and earth in a book, a real book.

Mothers Day

Today is a day of reflection.

It’s important to stop and take in every single wonderful thing in your life, whether it be giant and exciting or just the little joys, and realize that every amazing thing experienced in this life is only possible because someone was bold enough to take on the overwhelming adventure of having and raising you.

Without moms we wouldn’t be here to enjoy all of life’s magnificence. Happy Mothers Day to every incredible woman out there who gave the gift of life ♥

Celebrity Identity Crisis

I swear, these days “celebrity” is just a synonym for “identity crisis.” Do they even know what they look like without all the fake hair, make up and plastic body parts? For example….

Scary stuff.

$artistandstudio: Portrait multiple de Marcel Duchamp (Five-Way Portrait of Marcel Duchamp), Gelatin silver print, 1917 “The five-way picture, made by sitting in front of a hinged mirror, had gained popularity by the late nineteenth century and was commonly found in photography studios and at amusement parks. Duchamp transformed a mechanical picture into a self-portrait that embodied his view of identity as fractured and unstable. It prefigures his creation of various alter egos, such as Rrose Sélavy. The picture was made on June 21, 1917, at the Broadway Photo Studio at the same time that Duchamp was photographed with Francis Picabia and Beatrice Wood.” National Portrait Gallery$
