the photographer prepares - a photo on Flickriver

the photographer prepares

            For some reason, because this is a mirror reflection, it feels more intimate to me than if I had just shot it straight on.  Perhaps because this is how I see myself when home alone.  Only very special people see me like this.  For me this is much more revealing than if I were nude.  Not sure if this is making sense.  I am sure the ladies will understand.  
Or maybe not.  :-)

I wrote this in 2010 when this photo was taken.  
I haven’t taken a nude in years.  
My 2023 self thinks I sounded a bit silly.
