Leap Year Self Portrait

Leap Year Photo!

I didn't think I would use this photo for this project, but the idea of the project is to document things about you that often go unseen.  Like the fact that I am putting on mascara with my left hand.  I am right handed, but there are some things I do with my left hand, like do the left side of my face (this includes primer, eye shadow, and eye liner as well) when I put on make-up.

Other things I do with my left hand include:

pouring liquids

eating (sometimes)

painting (the few times I had to paint in school)

These are the only things I can think of at 2:30 in the morning.  But there are times when I do something and without realizing, I'm doing it with my left hand.  It is strange-I know.  But when I was younger I was ambidextrous and in fact, when I began to do something I always started with my left hand.  When I got tired or bored I'd switch to my right.  I guess some of that still true years later.
