today i studied myself,
as best as i could.
i took out my camera
(canon),
prepped and
from chest to head
took three front headshots
(one of me looking up, looking straight, looking down),
took three left-profile headshots
(one of me looking up, looking straight, looking down),
took three right-profile headshots
(one of me looking up, looking straight, looking down),
took three back headshots
(one of me looking up, looking straight, looking down),
and stepping back
from toes to head
took three front full body shots
(one of me looking up, looking straight, looking down),
took three left-profile full body shots
(one of me looking up, looking straight, looking down),
took three right-profile full body shots
(one of me looking up, looking straight, looking down),
took three back full body shots
(one of me looking up, looking straight, looking down),
and concluding it
took pictures of the in-betweens
(the facing ninety degrees right front close-up shots and more).
it’s more than i care to write about,
but still,
when unloading the pictures onto my computer
i realized in those forty-eight shots
that my work wasn’t done.
