I haven't been updating much, I'm in Toronto to do Aerial Training and I'm not really self photographing much.

I like this piece because it's complicated, and very reflective of my life. The unkept pits combined with the mask is a great illustration of how I balance vanity with being a free spirit, the femininity of the towel on my head (and the fact that I actually have hair now), the bruise.. which is actually from aerial training, but you never really know where those bruises come from do you. I like how my bicep, which is unflexed, gives an air of strength where otherwise the fact that I am injured will likely give a person the sense of defeat when they see the photo. My eyes are dark and tattered in flesh but bright, aware, and focused. It's just really moving to me.

I lowered the curves and upped the contrast of this photo considerably, and added a light diffuse glow over it, I felt that this conveyed a feeling of still being dirty, even though I'm clean.

Anyway. That's me right now. Sorry to be away.
