I wrote this kind of thing on my site so it's kind of redundant but... anyway....
Since 2011 winter, I have focused on myself as a photo subject. Through many different points of view, I have been searching and learning about myself and life, examining the past and present to find out where I am, internally. I am not sure whether I know then now where I am or who/what I am but... I think more important thing (rather than having the conclusion) is continuing learning that in life. Live with the questions.
I have never concentrated on myself for this long time span... Before starting this "Inner-life Documentary series", (which I named this btw) I never thought I would photograph myself like this many. Really...
2 years ago, Summer 2010, I decided to focus on my issues inside me. After then, I have been really continuously finding many many things in me. I'm still in the process of learning but now - after 2 years passed, I can say, I have learned a lot. I could gradually accept me as just I am, too...
I didn't upload the one of the series which I started in March. I just finished the prologue. Anyway, unusually I've been excited about this images. It'll need some more time to continue this journey, which I feel so fortunate and thankful......
Anyway... If you are curious what I have been creating... it is on my site, at "Inner-life Documentary Series"..............
