L.A. Photo CuratorBy turning the camera onto ourselves we are able to share the most intimate examination of the human condition. Perceptions of reality are shaped by personal experiences. At what point does inner turmoil and emotion bubble over into everyday life? Is a self-portrait a depiction of what one feels, one's self concept or one's desire to be seen? Examine the role of "I" without any preconceived notions of what a self portrait should be.
