Looking at Myself

Honestly, when I first heard that my next photography assignment was going to be self-portraits I was not thrilled. When I take photos of myself, they're usually the typical Facebook photo, or family photos. I've always associated my identity mainly with my face. So, after much thought and frustration I decided to focus on the two parts of my body equally apart of my identity as my face, but often overlooked: my hands and my feet. I've often half-joked that I have "sausage fingers" and "box feet" so it was nice to make my less-than favorite parts the focus of my photographs. I tried to make this series of images represent a journey for self-discovery, since I am still very much unsure of who I am and where I fit into life.
