'Anywhere you go, anyone you meet,
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies.'
-Augustana
Something I struggle with is looking past myself. Our culture is built around self-image and self-pleasure. We're so consumed by ourselves its almost impossible to open our eyes to greater things, actually see other people, and put ourselves out there. When we fail to see others' true faces, we lose our own. In a sense, we become faceless. We adapt to whatever the magazines define as beautiful, we allow our minds to be sautered into the mold that is 'logical thinking', and we drop our own personality traits so that we can 'fit in' with the people who did the exact same thing to accuire the exact same social status -- popular. In all this we disregard ourselves, God's creations, and let others construct us.
Photography helps me freeze moments. Disect them, if you will. Like any other hominid of the female species, I read way to much into stuff. And I enjoy it. It helps me see past peoples' fancy facades and just see the siple stuff.
This really didn't have much to do with the picture, other than you can't see his face; and you already have a preconception about him. Don't you?
