I take few pictures, either as I am (en femme) or as I sometimes must be (en drabbe). In family pics, I'll invariably stand in the back row or be behind the camera. I just have never liked the way I look. What does that aversion to photographs say about me? Perhaps I have a difficult time accepting an unpleasant reality, or maybe I am utterly realistic and see something that doesn't merit being memorialized in a photograph. Or maybe its a persitent vestige of that nagging insecurity and self-loathing that tormented me for so long.
I've provided only a few photos of myself on this site - mainly to affirm that I am a real person, not some lurker or poser. The avatar and profile pics were the most flattering pics I could manage. If my picture is an image of my soul, perhaps it reflects an underlying dishonesty.
