So since people keep bugging me about that fact that I have taken so many pictures of myself I figured I would offer a word in my defense: I don’t take all these pictures because I’m in love with myself or obsessed with the way I look. I take them because I like to take creative pictures, and I am the most cooperative model I have. It’s like with my art. My sketchbook is filled with drawings of my own hands and my own face in the mirror. The reason why is because those are things that I can draw that are always with me and I get myself to do what I want easily. I do it so often because I’m always experimenting and trying to find new ways of cropping or using color, etc. I have probably drawn my left hand over a thousand times, but each drawing is different. Guess what, I’m not done either. (I really do know the back of my own hand, lol) So it has more to do with the process than the finished product. It is at least comforting to know that I’m not the only one who does this. I found out a lot of my other art major friends at BYU did the same thing. Their computers and myspace accounts are also filled with always changing self-portraits . . .
