I always enjoy your self portraits, especially #4 here. Thanks for sharing of yourself.

I did, in fact, visit ICP a couple of weeks ago. Did not see the back of a brick building with arched windows, though.

Great article, Kenneth!

Well done! And my clumsy thumb typed at first "Well fine". Gotta mean something. I often talk to myself in writing comments on Substack. And wonder if that means anything. Often it's stuff I just have to get out. But with no one to talk to....nuff said. Except you often give me something to think about Kenneth. Whether in pictures or words. Thanks for a great start to my day.

Thank you so Marian!

The least talking to yourself can do when typing out these comments, you're your own spellcheck 😆 Wishing you a continued awesome day of great conversations!

I always enjoy your self-portraits, Kenneth - and these are no exception. I especially love the double exposure in Clinton Hill/Brooklyn where you are looking out the window of a brick building.

My wife and I talk to ourselves all the time, and we are constantly having to ask each other, “are you talking to ME?” 🤣

Thanks for sharing these thoughts Todd. I so appreciate our dialogues. The more I hear of others talking to themselves, the more I feel these dialogues are therapeutic and creativity inducing.

Cheers!

As I was saying to myself… Søren, you need to read this! And I was not disappointed - thank you, great post!

😂🤣😂 I’m not the only one! My fellow self talker. We all need to come out of the shadows.

Here! here!

I love the images so much and the whole read. I want to come back to this because I feel like I have much more to say but it's not surfacing yet.

I love all of this! This was a great read, Kenneth.

Thanks so much Rachel. It was a joy to put it together, unusual good feels all the way through (which is unusual).

Cheers!
