self portraits are funny things

March 23, 2014

When obliged to photograph yourself, what would you do? Particularly if you were not in the habit of taking pictures of people in the first place?

A photograph is a representation. In that sense, it is like a word or a sentence. The reality is something else again, but we can only ever understand realities through the filters of our senses. And this allows for play to enter the picture.

The photographs that may be found here are reflections of an aesthetic that appeals to my eye. if i knew what that aesthetic were called, i would tell you. happily, you can look for yourself if you like.

in the end, what really matters is whether you like what you see. I hope at least some who find themselves reading this will.
