Self - Portraits

This coming assignment is definitely going to be an interesting one.

It's always a strange thing to look at myself and categorize how I act and who exactly I am. What makes me...me? Explaining in words is probably infinitely easier than explaining through a photograph, which is why I'm nervous to begin thinking of how to go about shooting myself. I'm even more anxious to shoot the alter-ego, not because I'm some depressed emo or anything, but because I have to convey something that no one knows about me...but what?

I think the easiest way to go about explaining myself would be through a list of words and phrases, because I'm not going to tell you my life story, I'm going to tell you my personality.

happy                      witty                      confusing                   
optimistic                 creative                  looked over
strong                      unyielding               appreciative
blunt                        random                  proud
sarcastic                  responsible             respectful
unsympathetic         considerate             daring
mellow                    exciting                   fun
oddball                   doubtful                  safe

People usually see the easy-going and excited happy me, but I'm fairly sure that what they don't realize is my safe side and the fact that I can be quite serious. I'm still generating ideas on how to put myself in a photograph...but I'm getting there. And I think it'll be fun.
