From Camera-Shy to Selfie Pro
My journey through the lens of self-discovery
Take more selfies. Not because you need validation or likes or comments but because you are here on this earth. Alive and holy and true. And yes, your beauty deserves to be seen and known, most especially by you. You are worthy of being the subject of your own art. It is okay to capture the process of your own becoming. To be your own kind and gentle and fierce witness.

I would like to share my on-and-off relationship with the camera. I loved the camera when I was a kid. I was neither insecure nor awkward in front of a camera. This picture was taken when I was just 4 years old.
However, later on, I became a camera-shy person. I used to prefer group pictures and never solo ones because I could better hide my awkward or weird pose in a group picture.
