I regularly photograph myself in direct and confronting ways. I think when it comes right down to it; most of us are in some way still trying to figure ourselves out continually through life. I think we realize it is hard to look in the mirror sometimes and even harder to not only look into the mirror, but show it to all of those around. - M.E.
