a 'distortion' of myself is all I see in the photos.
Not sure if that makes sense.



Ok, it's Howdy Doobieeee time!

You have no idea how similar your story is to my own Day.It wasn't until I met my photographer ex when I was 33yrs old, who made me look gorgeous in her photographs, that I came to think that I might not be the ugly little bod I believed I was. S'true. After an interlude of fuckery I met exMrs.I who is also a photographer and alos very kindly made a somewhat older me look fab in her photographs. It was then I started the 365 project from which most of the pictures I'm posting come. It was a whole lot of fun being creative and learning how to take pictures too. Having a gf that ended up teaching photography sure helped with the technical side of things.

I've lost my confidence somewhat of late. After hitting man-o-pause, gaining weight and just generally getting older I'm feeling a little in need of catharsis, which is where the renewed inspiration for 'selfies' is coming from.


I've over shared haven't I ...ooops!
