Not being self indulgent as it might appear. A while back I took some self portraits and it was a big thing for my own development. I used to not be able to look at myself at all, I was so uncomfortable in this skin and insecure about my physical appearance. I hated pictures and video of myself even the sound sof my recorded voice. I wound up taking a lot of photos with me looking my worst and I called it, "embracing my inner ugly." And once I did that I was able to take pictures of myself looking normal or even trying to look nice. I had thought I had surpassed the need to even care about my physical appearance over ten years ago but a cuople of years ago it had creeped back in during a major transition I went through that included physical illness for a full year. And so this project helped me to once and for all not be concerned about my appearance. I wound up liking some of the pictures because I felt they really represented me in some way and so I posted them here. I needed to learn to love the physical as a representation of the spirit instead of rejecting it entirely.
