I utterly and positively hate pictures of myself -- they bring up a lot of issues I'm often not prepared to deal with. I really prefer to be behind the camera.

I never intended for this picture to see the light of day outside of my apartment, but my girlfriend insisted that I submit this for consideration. And so here it is, despite my self-conscious reservations.

I took this picture right after I shaved off my mohawk in February. And I've been growing my hair out ever since into a more feminine cut, so this will probably be the last picture of me sans coiffure for a very long time. Maybe even forever.
