I took a self-portrait outside last night and nothing bad happened! Someone walked by and didn't laugh at me. I make my progress in baby steps...
Then today I felt more introverted than ever. I am a bit unsteady on my feet of late. Lots of things going on internally (emotionally) and internally (family) and internally (something else). Trying to do the next right thing can be a huge struggle sometimes, and when I'm not sure what the next right thing is to do I figure it's better to do nothing. This can leave me sitting in a very uncomfortable place where I really want to have a cigarette again (been close to 3 years since I quit. Wow, it seems longer than that). Anyway. I've been in this feeling before. Nothing to do but sit with it.
I have this alternate shot from today that I also really love, but the light/color of the one above was too good to waste. This alternate one is another long exposure using motion to create two images (I love the results of this play). What I adore most about this one is that the left or rear profile of me looks SO much like my profile as a child. Spooky and cool at once. :)
Can you see that or is it just me?
