Turning The Camera
- Posted by rethwyll on October 30th, 2006 filed in Reflections
I hate having my picture taken. I hate TAKING my picture.
skits had me all excited about joining the 365 Days group on Flickr; one self-portrait, every day. No problem, right?
After taking 10 pictures of myself, I realized that I didn’t want to be in front of the camera. I don’t BELONG in front of the camera. Some people enjoy taking pictures of themselves. Some people are completely natural there. I am not. And that’s OK.
It’s always a refreshing surprise to discover something else that I can say “No, that’s not me” about. It’s taken me a long time to get to the point where I can say that.
I’m building a picture of myself in my head, bit by bit, day by day. And I plan to spend more than 365 days on it.

are you going to spend 366 days on your head picture? Or even 367?

381 days. I’m having a CAT-scan done every day so it will be all sliced-like and I can build it from the bottom up. Cooool. I’m pretty sure the brain cancer will have been worth the effort.

however this site works, whereever i’m to leave a comment,i don’t know. anyway, this site is so lame, can’t describe it lame! you guys have no clue really how serious your condition is. such eccentric intensities of geekness are rarely expressed so explicitly. i won’t visit this site again though i sympathize with those who do. whatever kind of aspirin you guys are on!?! are you sure you shouldn’t smoke a joint?
