I am a huge fan of the self portrait shot. I love the reflection shot, the feet shot and even the holding the camera away and shooting back at yourself shot. Sure, everyone does them and there's nothing new to it but that's part of what I love about it. I've been doing those same shots since I first picked up a camera back in 1984. One of my favorite things about those shots is the "I was here" element. You know like the common graffiti scrawled on the side of something proclaiming that so and so has "been here"? It's like that. I was here- looking, capturing, investigating...just me and my camera (kind of like it was for so long before there was a Steven, Sayer and Finn). Now, I may have a mini entourage in tow but it's still like that lone photo moment.

Just for fun, here are a few other random shots from the week...it's just so hard to pick just one!
