I attempted a self portrait in this post here, but was kind of unsatisfied so I intended to stage a proper shoot, however I took this photo in my bedroom yesterday and I think it captured me perfectly. I might do a third portrait if I find time and genuinely feel inspired but I've got so much packing left to do before the big move down to London on Saturday that I doubt I'll have time. It's a shame really because I did have something pretty special in mind, but I don't need to go out of my way to prove I'm good at photography because that's the only real reason why I'd push myself to do a third take, it would imply that I care too much what people think and that's not me any more. It's not technically impressive, and I know there's not a lot to look at, but I've captured an authentic picture of myself featuring the mood I've experienced most lately. Other people may not like it, but it's me, and I can't be anything more than that.
