The true identity theft is not financial. It's not in cyberspace. It's spiritual. It's been taken.
Behind every closed door might wait a thief of minds and a collector of souls.
And I don't like having my picture taken. I'm almost like an old African in that sense. I think it steals a bit of the soul.
But in a story I can steal her soul.
I say no to photographs. When people take my picture, I feel like they've taken a piece of me, and I can't get that back. It's soul-draining.
If a bout of "creepy face" sets in, the trick is to look away from the camera between shots and turn back only when necessary. This also limits how much of your soul the camera can steal.
