Loving Selfies
by Loving Earth
Experimenting with taking photos of the most cooperative (and cheap) model I know... uh... me.
Also working on the 7000 possible human facial expressions for .Sandhu :)

What is self-portraiture all about, an exercise in vanity or self-discovery; showing off or showing your vulnerability? I, like so many people doing 365s, used to HATE having my picture taken. I could tell you everything that was wrong with my physical form. This negative self-perception has shifted (at least in part) for me, thanks to this project. This 365 project has helped push me out of my comfort zone whilst also helping me find peace with being seen, so openly, so physically...
Plus, for me it is often just a practical thing: a) I like photos with people in them and rarely do I have anybody at hand who will let me do a photo shoot of them; b) doing 365 of house objects is really, really hard, after taking a photo of anything and everything interesting in your house... you have to start getting creative. the only thing that you can photograph over and over in ever new ways is, well, you (or any person... but that takes us back to a. and the fact that I can't afford models!). :p
