Photographer Steve Rosenfield recently asked subjects far and wide to complete the following statement: "I am not my ___ " He prompted individuals to fill in the blank with their deepest and darkest insecurities, moving people to bring issues regarding body image, substance abuse, mental illness, race and sexuality to the forefront.
The results of the social experiment of sorts is a photography series titled the "What I Be Project," an intimate examination of the anxieties and inhibitions that plague men and women of all ages. Rosenfield posed his volunteers in simple positions, adorning the subjects with bold black phrases of their choosing, written on their arms, chests and faces.

Was the " What I Am" project name taken. It was begging for a snarky comment.

Thanks Cure. I had to think about that and I'm so glad to be reminded how great Gilda was.

The idea seems great and emotionally powerful.
Maybe that is the reason for the odd phrasing.
As Rosanna Danna would say, "Never mind".
