MULTIPLE EXPOSURE
I'm a thinker, I love to just sit by my window and look out into the world watching it pass by. It gives me a sense of peace of mind and happiness even when I'm at my lowest point. Sometimes I sit and sing,  other times I play guitar or sing, sometimes even cry, they are so many things I do while sitting there. But most of all I am ME.

BLACK AND WHITE
 This is my favorite self portrait I've taken. I'm holding up the camera my Father loaned to me, it is a film camera from the 80's and I absolutely adore it! Again this photo shows my love for mustaches and cameras.
 I love laying on the floor, it's a great place to think and just "BE", I took this with my hair falling in whatever way it falls.
 I stroked paint all over my face and wrote "ME" on my hand. I feel like this explains me because I'm a colorful person but I have things that I hide.
 Heres me with a mustache...again.
I kissed my hand and put it in front of the camera, trying to show that I love myself for who I am. 
SABATTIER FILTER
 I have this crazy obsession with mustaches, so I decided to paint one on and put on some glasses. I looked at the camera and was going for a look that seemed like I was telling a secret but this seems more like I'm yelling.
 In the moment i took this I was messing around and decided to do a rawr kind of thing. To me it shows how I can be fierce in a fun way.
I was laying on the ground running my hands through my hair and just felt like screaming, the camera went off at the perfect time.
