I'll be the first to admit, my chambers are a MESS! I write, I study, I do research, I draw. There's papers, pillows, stuffed animals everywhere. The pillows and plushies, because the pet likes to cuddle with them (plushies more than pillows), I like to pile them up around me when I read, write, draw. There's various claptrap on top of my entertainment center, including pens, pencils, computer wires, even the occasional empty soda can (I have a bit of a lazy streak sometimes... usually). However, do I take a picture in this? Nupe. I have a pic by the fence to the backyard, in my driveway, a couple shots from my room, but they're just headshots and a blank wall behind me. Why? Because it's clutter. Not filth, that's just... ew... But clutter, whatever in the picture... it's supposed to be a picture of me, not all of the stuff I have, not my room, but me. You want a pic of my chambers, ask. I'll think you're odd probably, but will most likely show you, after we've talked a while. But that's not what I want my first impression to be. If someone wants to contact me, I want it to be because of what I've written (good or bad), because of the first impression in my photo, etc. Not because they want to talk about the clutter on my shelf.
