I didn’t shave, I’m in my pajamas, the lighting is dodgy, I’m unposed, I’m wearing my day job headset, and I can’t wear makeup.

What you see here is me at my most middling low-average, when I just can’t care cause most of the time no one will see me, except now you are seeing me.

The big takeaway is that this is what I look like when I’m not trying to be fancy, this is what I look like most of the time.

And I’m still beautiful, at least, to me.

And if ever you’re struggling with your own self-image and you want the outside to match the inside, you’re not alone in that. This is my raw, unprocessed outside.

(As an aside, I spend two hours on Brooke’s photo, doing careful color grading and pushing the saturation up on her hair and jacket, going back and forth between sigmoid settings, tweaking the tone exposure curve, and endlessly just messing with things until I’m satisfied;

and then I take my own selfie in three seconds without my phone and with the only preparation being to take off my hat. I got priorities.)
