    FOCUS

     FOCUS

    You need to focus on you
    No.
    We all need a subject.
    An object;
    something to build around.

    A portrait is such a lonely picture.
    A self-portrait, much worse.

    Open the shutter
    and let in the light.
    The darkness surrounding you
    does nothing for your features.

    Blow it up.
    Warp it.
    Crop it, rotate
    It is still only you
    focusing on you
    while everything else

    fades.

    blurs.
