Smiles everyone, smiles!
There’s someone I was a twitter/facebook/blip.fm friend of for a few months. We got along relatively well but after she’d showed her cards through a series of acts which led me to where I speak of her in the perfect tense I realized something.
In looking at her prolific self-portraits I had a little epiphany which led me to the perhaps odd act of going through every single picture that was publicly available of her to test a theory.
I was in total shock, really. There are candid shots, set-ups; pictures in the mirror and from friends’ cameras; parties and work settings. Probably something over a hundred shots.
And in not ONE is she smiling.
Not One.
People. Do yourselves a favor. Go flip through some pictures of yourself, just for a reality check.

I find the best pictures of myself, other than the ones from my far-gone past, are the ones where I stick out my tongue.
I’m sure this has Freudian connotations somehow.
