Today I met Tania Bowman. She analyzes handwriting. I was reluctant at first when she asked me if she wanted me to have her look at my writing. After I took some portraits of her and we chatted awhile I thought, lets see if this works. So I wrote "I recently made meatballs and the first one was really good, but as I ate more I realized I used too much Asiago cheese in them." and then signed my name. She was able to tell me things that she just shouldn't have known about me simply because my "G" didn't loop back up and my "T" had a downward cross and some letters tilted to the left, but not too far to indicate I'd murdered someone, or a little to the right and that the upward direction of the letters in my signature really said something specific about my beliefs. No I'm not going to go into detail--I'm open, but I'm not that open. It was fascinating and reminded me again how great it is to meet people and take their picture while getting to know a little about them (and in this case about myself) in the Process.
