I’m one of those narcissistic photographers that takes self portraits *all* the time; in fact, I even have a series called “I live from the neck up”.

Now that I’ve had a tripod and infrared remote for six months, I still find myself making the same limited kinds of limited self portraits, focusing on my face, expression, the fleeting and light. The viewer is allowed a few more inches, is all.

Four years of habitual comfort is a hard vice to break. Outside of the frame, I do (I have to) live from the shoulders down. And when I think of myself in those terms, below the shoulders, it’s in a fashion sense: I’m an avid thrifter and clothing collector.

Blogs like this one provide me the bravery to show you my entire self, from the neck down.
