Starting in 2011, I started taking my little Canon QL-17 almost everywhere with me to work on a new project I envisioned as a running "Self-portrait." The idea was that through approaching friends, family and strangers alike, and asking them to take a photo of me, I could have one aspect of this self-portrait work - namely, how an other sees me. In addition, I would take one of them, which details how I see an other. I envisioned putting them side-by-side, in succession, and the growing work would serve as non-static self-portrait.
Besides being a personal project, it's rather emotional, photos of friends who became strangers, strangers who became friends and loved ones. My aging (and fattening-up) also becomes more apparent as the project goes on. There's a lot more to it, for me, but I will just put it out there in the wish to share.
