the work of other people: me, through justin hackworth's lens, and a video by katherine center

I mentioned yesterday that Justin and I traded photo sessions while we were in Salt Lake City this past weekend; so today, I thought I'd share some of my favourite shots he took of me.

Photo by Justin Hackworth

Like most people, I suppose, I generally hate having my photo taken -- but I have to say I love these shots with a white hot passion. Justin is really good about connecting with his subjects, so they feel very comfortable and natural as he shoots them; for that reason, these shots feel more like "me" than any shots I've ever had taken of me. Ever. Thanks so much, Justin.
