I always find it interesting to see myself through other peoples eyes. Sometimes it's strange, other times hilarious yet others just plain daunting. Knowing who we are by living within ourselves exposes us to nuances that many never get to see and yet to us are fundamental to who we are. However, due to social and cultural influence, preconceived notions and a variety of other biases, even a photo someone else takes of us often paints a picture that just plain <em>looks</em> different.

If we are what we eat then what does that same idea do when someone takes a picture of our food, or { gasp } kitchen?

I came across these pictures by one of my { vast number of } previous house guests. The daunting darling's pictures, shot to film, have a stark somewhat retro feel to them. Maybe it's the film stock, maybe it's just her perception of my space, either way it certainly entertained me..especially what she chose to focus on.

These little vignettes contain some of those nuances of my personality that few get to see..I really love the shots. And if you were wondering, the text on the chalk wall says, '<em>The choice reveals ones true nature. Any preconceived incongruity is just an insight into ones actual psyche</em>'. A conclusion drawn after a long night of sci-fi fueled philosophical discussion.
