Immersed
Driving to work this morning I was thinking how writing code for embedded devices or designing a circuit board has become a task I can become so totally immersed in that the people around me no longer exist, time becomes something I don't feel pass, the music I might be playing at the time is no longer heard. In effect I forget about self, about me. This is something I can fall into quite quickly once I start tapping at the keyboard.
That maybe because I have been doing this for so many years that I can become totally creative with my skills. This relates with what I do in photography, the skill set is in place and after only a short time I can get into a groove that lets me get immersed in the visual information around me and not in me.
When writing code for new devices/peripherals there are some hurdles getting the nitty-gritty out of the way but once moving it is all immersing once again. Not much different to picking up a new camera, new lens, new software, new lighting setup.

Just wanted to say that I got your print, and I really loved that shot. I rivals the shot of the curtains you send. Excellent use of the focus, and the light in the background. It almost circles around the flower. 
Immersed-immersed-immersed. I'm planning to make a band and name it like that =) My favourite word.
