For this month's prompt, we were to do a self portrait. The only rules were that we couldn't use an actual photo of ourselves. So how would I demonstrate to someone who has never met me who I am? It actually got me thinking. At this point, I identify with the name...
A few weeks ago, my friend, Miki, sent me a text with a picture of her reading to a few stuffed animals at the library she works at. She told me that sometimes kids leave their stuffed animals at the library overnight, and they take pictures to show them. I decided...
