Point of Exquisite Suspension: Self-Portrait, age 16

Pencil drawing in small sketchbook, 5 December 1976.
The "guess who." caption seems a bit coy to me now.

If someone were to tell me when I was a teen of the changes in my perspective on life that would take place between my 16 year old persona and my 51 year old self, I wouldn't believe them. It is something that is often mentioned in literature on human development but until one experiences it first hand, it is difficult to imagine. I consider it to be one of the miraculous aspects of human consciousness.

This is also a good place to include a Google Drive Link to a re-formatted paper wrote in college about the psychological benefits of self-portraiture -- officially titled "Psychodynamic Processes of Self Portraiture".
