Celebrating My Body

I used to hate being on the lens side of the camera. I was the one always taking pictures. I hated the way I would look in pictures. I was convinced that I ruined pictures.Then in early June I decide to leave my sleeve covered arms behind and get comfortable. I started going sleeveless. It was so freeing. Completely liberating. I decided I could look solemn and unsmiling or just sorta smiling at Quanah's wedding OR I could bust out with happiness. I could let the smiles rain out over whatever camera was pointed in my direction. End result? Some terrrific pictures of ME.

Yesterday I had lunch with Biene and we walked to the campus store for drinks. As we went over the footbridge behind the music building, I threw my hands into the air just glorying in the fabulous day it was. The next thing I knew, out came the camera. I had to record this. I wanted to love my body. Accept my body. Hug it and take care of it.

Thanks Biene for being on the spot to take these pictures.
