just leave me a few

"Had a feelin that it would be a day like this
The orchestra in my mind don't play like this,
But I'm prepared for it
Got a lil rare for it

Lil scared my stare lowered
Momma said have no fear
Plus I'm already outta my chair
God love my airs on my square from here forward
It's nuthen right so here go it"

truth is, i get really nervous and self-conscious in front of the camera, so i don't particularly enjoy self-portraits, but i realized today, on a day of thanks, that being so anxious and self deprecating is silly. i am thankful for myself and the people that have made me who i am. i have such a beautiful life, and i am so lucky to be able to express this beauty through my photographs. thank you for being you, and being here.
