self portrait 3

...I guess I have created a series. I promise, however, that tomorrow the photo will not be of me, or any part of me for that matter. I just enjoy capturing people, and when there is no one around to take a photo of and society says is unappropriate to approach a stranger and ask them to pose, I only have me, myself and I....When there is nothing left to burn/You have to set yourself on fire.

so I leave you with some lyrics off of Iron and Wine's new album (and their best), "The Shepherd's Dog" - really of no relation to anything except I think they are nice - I have had the song on repeat all day:

There is a house by the sea
Two jealous sisters, they're waiting for me
And one is laid on the floor
And one is changing the locks on the doors
And I've been buying the time on my knees
And I've been selling their blankets to bleed (on)

Around the house by the sea
The scent of roses and raspberry leaves
And there is smoke in my clothes
Too much time with just smoke in my nose
And I've been making the meaning they lack
And I've been burning that book they come back too

There is a house by the sea
And an ocean between it and me
And like the shape of a wave
The jealous sisters will sing on my grave
And I've been living to run where they led
And I've been dying to rise from their bed
And I've been sparing my neck from their chain
And they've been changing the sound of my name
And I've been swimming to them in my sleep
And I've been dreaming our love and our freedom
