Self Portrait

this was the weeks assignment, im so proud of it :) turned out just perfect!

now that i have time to explain why it turned out like this...

i'm a very social person when put into a new setting, or around people i'm very comfortable with, but that's kind of like a covering to who i really am. honestly, i'm very shy, i like to just blend it, (it's when i stand out without trying that i become more social; but when i can i stay shy). i do most of my real talking with my eyes. they change color depending on my mood (green is a good thing) and if i make eye contact with someone, it means there is trust there. i have a hard time making eye contact with most people, i usually look at my feet (hints why people think i'm shy).

then with the background, i love the outdoors, anytime i can, i'm outside. even in the winter with the yucky snow, i still love to be outside. and dead trees, well bare trees.

then with the mirror, a song from Mulon comes in to mind, "when will my reflection show who i am inside" people don'e see the real me, they see who they want to see. my photography shows the real me, but no one takes the time to realize that.
