College is a weird photo environment - it's hard to find time alone, and while in a lot of ways it's brought me out of my shell and made me much less shy and introverted, sometimes I still need that time to myself. Self portraiture has been a comforting exercise for me in the past few years; that time with myself becomes strangely therapeutic. I haven't had much time or opportunity to take many self portraits throughout the past semester or two, so I sometimes end up revisiting old ones. Here are a few of my favorites, some that I don't think I've ever shared with the internet before.
This last one is based off of a passage from one of my favorite books, Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer:
"If there is no love in the world, we will make a new world, and we will give it walls, and we will furnish it with soft, red interiors, from the inside out, and give it a knocker that resonates like a diamond falling to a jeweler's felt so that we should never hear it. Love me, because love doesn't exist, and I have tried everything that does."
