A little whisper in the dark

Yourself

Of late I've been taking more photos of the people around me, and have been finding that people generally aren't used to seeing themselves in photos, video clips or hearing themselves on an audio recording. Weird, but I feel the same way too.

Perhaps the image we see is one we are so familiar with yet it is so foreign; when we look at a mirror we see a reversed image but when we look at a photo, its not. Can we come to terms with the person we really are? What if we had to live with a person exactly like ourselves, what if you chose a life partner that was like you?

I'm more comfortable in front of a camera now, though I still spend most instances behind it. But I don't feel ill at ease anymore. Maybe I've come to terms with myself, but I'm not sure I could live with someone who's like me either.

You never know what you're going to get, and you never know what might just fit.
