Thinking about all of these questions last year caused me to take my own photo series; Polaroid self-portraits, where you stick your arms out and aim the camera back at your face. Look how happy I am! Too bad I can point to half of them and remember feeling tired or sore and not really feeling like smiling.



So I took this photograph a month ago, after biking on San Juan Island all day and discovering that my campground didn’t exist. It’s a much more accurate portrayal of how I was feeling, but I probably won’t include it in my photo album.
