"Tell Me a Secret": Light Writing Photography Experiment

I am a student at the University of Washington, Bothell in the Media and Communication Program.  I am currently working on a photography project that is experimenting with light writing.  This photo series is titled "Tell Me A Secret", in which I will write out people's secrets using a flashlight and long exposure.  The concept is bringing secrets to light, which is easier to do in the dark.  In order to do this I need your help.  I am asking people to ANONYMOUSLY submit a secret to this post.  This is your chance to reveal a secret you have been holding on to without fear of anyone finding out where it came from as well as be part of an experimental art project.

After the project is complete I will post the photos back to this site so be sure to check back to see if your secret was chosen for reveal!

For those who are willing to participate, thank you for making this project a possibility.

    So I used to hate my mom, she would roll her hair every night with bobby pins, so to get back at her I bit all the ends of the bobby pins so she would stab her head and get mad and wonder who did that. To this day she still doesn't know...

    I pretend like I'm okay but I still have hate built up inside me from a long time ago that I've never been able to vent. I'm afraid one day I'll alienate the ones I love because of this.

    I'm completely in love with 3 different men and unable to commit to a single one. Secretly afraid of all men and I think it's because I was raped when I was 20 yrs. old. To top it off, I was a virgin. I've never spoke a word of it to this day.
