How many of you still take pictures of yourself when you dress? Has it changed over time?
The topic of taking picture has come up a couple of times with me over the past week and it made me think a little bit. When I first accepted myself a few years ago, I took pictures every time I dressed. It was very thrilling to get dressed up and take lots of pictures of myself. Not all of them were great pictures but I still enjoying looking at them today (though I cringe now when I see the chest hair sticking out).
I have not taken pictures though in almost 2 years. Part of that of course was the forced vacation I took but now that I am back I still do not have the urge, or maybe driven desire, to take pictures.
I came to the realization that I have changed (I think for the better). My desire for pictures was derived from the fact I was "underground" and I needed to commemorate my dressing the future. Now that I am more open (though not completely out - yet) and I dress daily, I no longer feel the need to take pictures like I used to. I still want to take pictures in the near future but now I am doing it for fun, not because I am hiding.
Have any of you had the same experience?
