I am searching the meeting point of soul and body, and my own original
shape. Photographing myself with film, without any instant image-checking
aids, and printing in a darkroom, I searched internally and externally.

I am developing a knack for self-portraits. The idea is to put myself, as naturally
as possible, in an outdoor scene in 10 seconds, before the self-timer fires the
shutter. Some have required over ten attempts.
