I think I figured out one of my purposes in life. I want to snap pictures of people where they actually like themselves. Pictures where people actually look like some element of how they are, act, speak, believe. These aren’t the best, but something like these.

Goodenough, 2005
My sister and dad, Turkiye
Chimmikins, 2005
