#NOFILTER


Behind the lens I am

Flawed. 

Without the angle I would not appear as tall. 

If there wasn't a spot corrector you would see my scars. 

Without the tints I wouldn't look so beautifully tan. 

If I didn't know to pose I'd be a little bigger. 

Without the camera I wouldn't get a chance 

to display my perfect self. 

Or the self with tons of filters that I make myself. 

Behind the lens I am true.

Behind the lens is for me, not you.
