This self portrait is not yet included in "Falling Into Place," my gallery of self portraits/daily life, but I wanted to share it here anyway. I need your help, my friends. I've just posted some text to introduce and accompany those images and need honest feedback. If you have the time and inclination, would you please read my text and let me know if it works for you? Be brutal...or at least, totally honest. As many of you know, the Magnum photographer David Alan Harvey and the world-respected social documentary photographer Mary Ellen Mark are encouraging me to work towards this project becoming published in book form. If that happens, it will need some text. I've been writing bits and pieces for a matter of months, but this is the first time I've dared to share anything publicly. As often happens, I am too close to the story--MY story--to know if my words enhance or get in the way of the images. That's where YOU come in. I trust your objective eyes, mind and heart to know if the approach I've taken fits or not. I thank you in advance for any comments you might make.
