I've been questioning why I've taken so many self portraits lately. I mean I literally don't like how I look so I found a way to like that. Everything is completely okay for me behind the camera but I don't like in front of the camera exactly. Reflections are not like that, it's not in front of it and it's not behind it either. It's like that it's up to me to control it. I can see myself as I want to see, I can change my form and my face may not be visible at all. Seeing myself in the reflection is sometimes like facing myself. Sometimes the reflection in front of me looks at me very different. I guess that's why I've been taking selfies a lot lately. At least sometimes it's fun to find some reflections!
I got so caught up in the feeling of looking at myself through the camera! Curved surfaces, broken glass, mirrors, shop windows, metal surfaces, the reflection all these provide and I can finally "see" myself. I guess that's how I'll keep facing myself, facing myself in the photos I've created!
