Day Fourteen: Skin Deep

Sometimes a simple, ordinary picture can signify something much more complex.

And sometimes the true meaning of a photograph can only be found by peeling away superficial layers that surround the masked beauty that lies within.

Perhaps a picture like today's represents the true complexity that hides within most of the things we take for granted.

And perhaps it exemplifies the layers of inhibition being peeled away by the photographer as he grows and shares a little piece of himself every day.

Maybe, like an onion, the act of peeling away one's superficial layers is enough to bring tears - tears of joy, tears of sorrow, tears of pain, tears of laughter-

And maybe it is possible for all of this - this deep meaning and elegant representation of our innermost being - to be encapsulated in one scene, one picture.

But not this picture.

This...is just an onion.
