*Insert Narcissism*

I love self portraits. 

There I said it! 

I love them! 

Call me narcissistic, if you want 

but 

I think there is something to be said about the ability to document yourself 

and everything that comes with that. 

I love being able to document myself, 

my emotions, 

my changes, 

and more importantly, 

my journey. 

Everyone has a story. 

Everyone should tell their story. 

Most people choose to use their words, 

but I like to use photographs, 

my art,

my images,

to tell my story.

Here are some recent self portraits,

Take a look at them.   

I'm not going to say anything about them,

because I think they should speak for themselves.

Enjoy! :) 

"The time will come 

when, with elation 

you will greet yourself arriving 

at your own door, in your own mirror 

and each will smile at the other's welcome, 

and say, sit here. Eat. 

You will love again the stranger who was your self.

Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart 

to itself, to the stranger who has loved you 

all your life, whom you ignored 

for another, who knows you by heart. 

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, 

the photographs, the desperate notes, 

peel your own image from the mirror. 

Sit. Feast on your life."

~Love After Love, Derek Walcott
