Fascinating to read and to view. It helps to be a professional photographer when doing self-portraits--the quality shows in many of them. I'm certain just about everyone on this board can empathize. Many of us led normal public lives while creating our own private fantasy worlds. For the sake of one's sanity, it's nice to keep reality at bay from time to time. Just in case anything happens, I've concentrated my "fantasy" items into two locations and instructed a close friend where to find everything and dispose of it before the family arrives to sift through the "normal" effects.
