#existinphotos ~ b&w

I took these pictures a few weeks ago, but couldn't bring myself to share them.   I remember feeling pleasantly surprised right after I took them that I looked "okay".  But when I sat down to edit them, I saw nothing but flaws.  I tucked them away for a bit.   I came back to them a few days ago and realized that I was right both times.  I look pretty and I have flaws.  But that's what makes me me.   So I decided to leave the editing to a minimum and simply convert to black and white.  Here I am.  Just me.
