I Don't Look Better in Cross-Processed-Vintaged-Agfa


Selfies have never befriended my face

not after I turn my head to the upright and locked position

not after I put the picture through ten different filters

to filter out all the features I don't like

about my own face.

I don't take pictures of myself.

I know that I can turn

someone else's face into a "masterpiece" with a 

click

and that 

the eyes reflect the soul so

they should be 100%

me and

not whatever they look like after

cross processing, vintaging and adding agfa.

I know that if I defocus 

the parts I dont like

I can't work to improve myself.

I know I am passionate about

art and people,

I know that as an artist

you don't need filters to be beautiful.
