These pictures come from: Backup/Old My Pictures/Labels I once had an idea where I had my friends do a little exercise in self-realization. I asked them to pick a word.

Although most of my photography is somewhat experimental, these are extremely experimental. Often times I look at a picture and think, well that didn’t work. There are other times,… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #68
