I am Dandan (pronounced dān dān).
I was hoping to start this site out on a more energetic note, but I'm really not feeling up to it today.
I guess I coulda held off 'til I was in a better mood, but why put off 'til later what you can do today, right?
Here's what else I did today:
This set is part of my mostly-annual (missed '11 on account of...forgetting...) nude shoot to document the changes in my body. I started when I was 18 with the 'origin' series, and they pretty much all come out kind of awkward and depressing every year.
I was hoping this year would be a little more less so on account of the personal growth and exercise I've been doing over the last year or so, but nope, woke up more depressed than I have been in months and super-bloated. Go figure.
I'm okay with that -- or trying to be. They didn't turn out the way I'd hoped but that's the nature of the project, to just capture the way it is, and the way it is isn't always pleasant or 'presentable'. These pictures are rough and of poor quality (if you don't believe me view the full size image -- it's pretty horrible), but I tried to make them interesting.
The journey can be unpleasant at times, and the snapshots we take along the way aren't always flattering, but at least we can look back and reflect on how far we've come.

I'll write a real introduction later. Promise.
