Over the last few weeks I have been experimenting a bit with using double exposure in the editing process. I’m not really sure what the goal was, but it became a way to combine some of my photos to tell a deeper story, *A story from within*. Then I started to pair them with the words that came to me while creating them.. poetry? I’m not sure.. I like to call them *random thoughts*. The concept of combining nature with my physical being to represent essentially *the depths of my soul.* **Is it art?** No idea. What is art after all but a form of self expression? This is me just experimenting.. I think they go along with my whole *beautifully broken* theme that is scattered through out my blog, and I enjoyed the process of making them. I actually had no intention of sharing them here, but then I remembered I am suppose to be *sharing* more of myself.. doing things I wouldn’t normally do. Part of my [Unexpected Journey](https://steemit.com/life/@llfarms/my-unexpected-journey-a-year-of-firsts). *So here’s to stepping out of your comfort zone*...
