I thought it was cute but not really anything special, or meaningful. I wanted to enter a themed photo competition and I ended up not submitting anything at all because I didn’t think any of the images were good enough. I did two or three photo shoots. Looking at the photograph now, I see it in a whole new way. It strikes me and instantly recalls the memory of a moment in my life. In order to be able view my images in an objective and nonobjective manner I try to distance myself. Sometimes, I end up doing myself a disservice. I’m my own worst critic.</p>http://jonathanmathias.tumblr.com/post/39341975698http://jonathanmathias.tumblr.com/post/39341975698Mon, 31 Dec 2012 18:44:21
