Peaking Young :: The Photographic Record

Peaking Young
Originally uploaded by Jannie-Jan

I joke that it's been all down hill since graduating young...

In some ways it's true.

As part of my part in this documentary I'm finding and scanning all the photos and ephemera I've collected.

There's a series I envision will tell a significant story in pictures that require no words. I've written far too much.

Now is the time for action and redemption.

This is me.

I'm a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.

Depression and moderate DID have been my constant companions since the hormones kicked in. Puberty was when it began to be clear that something was profoundly wacky with my world view.

I will be able to illustrate some of the DID in still images as well.

With all that, I've managed to prepare myself for this project. I'm ready.

Welcome to the process of getting this documentary thing together.

RESEARCH UPDATE: Am finding a tremendous lot of survivor videos up on YouTube. I wonder if a community flourishes among the media makers?
