Mobile Devices, John Kelsey p7
Naked pictures
Seem like they're projected onto the photographs
"We are always putting out, always on screen, always leaking, and our new nakedness puts a fresh body on so much everyday exposure and connection. But we also remain somehow innocent in our promiscuous, free, and unstoppable leaking. And our new nakedness is as easy going and generic as an emoticon." p9

Interesting set of photographs, not self-portraits however? Which is a shame but I may be able to work some of this in, photographs of truth which may have been concealed... taboo?
