Exposed

Exposed

Peel it back
layer by layer
unravel the slack
thread by thread
repeat this process
until you see
all that hides
within me.

This shot was exposed for 50 seconds. I only stayed in the shot for about 20 seconds. Thats why i'm a bit transparent. The bottom of the image has more white because this is where i crammed the paper film into my camera and when the lid went on it squashed it down a little bit causing these wrinkles that do not expose the same as the rest of the photo. This picture was captured with my self made ceramic camera titled: Little Wings.


Being EXPOSED is hard for me - not just the obvious nakeness of my skin. The exposure of how i feel or if i need help. It is so hard for me let somone i know and love, to tell them i'm hurting or to ask for help. I've always had an attitude that 'i can do it myslef' but i have grown to realize in my older wiser (hopefully wiser) years this is not true. I do need to be loved and helped along the way and I need to not be afraid to ask or accept it when help is offered.


Growing up,
rabbit
