Yes. Let’s call it a severe case of narcissism. But isn’t it fun to take your own photo, sometimes?

Out of something that can be categorised as ordinary, I had found myself having fun in the process. This is one of the moments wherein I love what I do and that’s not just because I get to take photos of myself but rather to explore the idea of confidence and inner acceptance.

Can you smile naturally while worrying if your imperfections will lay bare for the world’s scrutiny? Will you be able to produce self-portraits with ease and comfort? Will you be able to look at your photo and see what a beautiful creature you are?

All of creation is beautiful and it’s true that it’s only through your own eyes will you be able to see it and believe. Without such faith in that truth, the picture you paint in your life will only reflect the ugliness of its absence.

Life is beautiful. Live it. And learn to love the beauty in you.

Trivia: Session was for an FOTD (Face of the Day) at Beauty Bento Box. Taken around 9am in my room, I must say that there’s gorgeous light streaming in around that time in that bit of space; October 2008.
