Bright Lights

 

I often get asked why I wear sunglasses in all my photos. One of the reasons is I feel they contribute to the outfit; the other reason being the extreme sensitivity my eyes have to bright light. I’m the one who always blinks when the flash goes off and in the case of my blog posts I always shoot outdoors. As you can see in these pictures, even while standing under giant pine trees I’m straining to keep my eyes open while facing the light. Having light sensitive eyes is not a fun trait to have for someone who spends as much time in front of a camera as I do, but I try to look at the positive: it’s a great excuse to have a giant collection of eyewear!
