Description I'm just being lazy and uploading old stuff. Though I have to say, I've always really liked this one. It's not terribly well composed or anything, but I like it all the same. I think it's my expression, because it feels honest, bare. Unfortunately, I have no memory of what I was thinking at the time.

Enjoy and please comment!

I like it.  But for me, the picture captures the moment just as the subject has decided to be honest with the one at whom she looks. 
 

If I were trying to portray honesty, the person would be facing the camera squarely.  Forthright, as it were.  In this picture, the look is towards the viewer, but the body is turned. So for me, this picture suggests the instant when she turns her head, with her soon to turn the rest of her body in alignment. 
 

If she never makes that turn, she can still be honest, but the direction of her body would then suggest some degree of defensiveness.  So if this pose is maintained, it would be a sort of guarded honesty.

Looking at your beauty spots ("grains de beauté" in french ) I kinda see the Big Bear Constellation!
Yah I know, I am getting crazy... to be honest like you, I really am kind of missing you...
I mean, you really were posting amazing pictures, mostly self-portraits, you really are a great photographer.
Since i spoke of constellation, for this pic I give you
(you lose a mostly  because of the change of color on the background probably due to the corner of the wall)
but the model (yes I know it is you) expression is so captivating that I will gladly add this pic to my favorite!

Thanks! I will have to look into the big bear constellation. I'm a bit busy with life these days, it's hard to find time to be creative with so much going on. Who knows, maybe one day I'll get a spark of creativity.

the look does draw you into the beauty of your face and makes someone to want to reach out and kiss your lipps..in fact it kind of looks like someone had just stolen a kiss from you...and you have an expression of something was stolen from you and how dare they...hmmm maybe i'm staring at it too long...its a great portrait of you Jenn...

The title is perfect. Again, I love the simplicity of your work and this shot in particular. Just you and a camera...nothing more honest about that
