A self portrait.

No not the fashion trend, I'm referring to portraiture. To take a picture of one's self depicting your personality, your emotions, and maybe your spiritual energy (aura).

Still waters run deep.

I have always been know as the "quite type" from an early age growing up as the middle child of a small house hold of four, comprised of my younger sister, older brother, and mother. Being that I was born as the middle child and that of from a working class family, raised by a single parent, there simple weren't many outlets for me to learn many social skills. And anyone who is lucky enough to be born a middle child knows that you are often left to your own devices. We kind of get left in the cracks, so to speak. As a child growing-up on the outskirts of Clinton, Mississippi, I would often spend my time exploring the vast wooded terrain behind our home that at times would seem to stretch-out forever. Or in front of a television. To me these where vehicles that I could use to escape the isolation that I often would myself in. Each vehicle possessing endless wonders. There is so much you can learn from nature and the world, be it in person or remotely from the comfort of your own bed.
