My Other Eye-Portrait of a Photographer

Hi, Shelley. This is very interesting and unique. Just one thing I noticed--you have the scan backwards--the lettering on the lens is upside down and backwards. Very nice work otherwise

  Hi Piper, Thanks for the comments. This wasn't a scan though. This was a shot of me taking a picture of me in the mirror. That should explain the backwards lettering. I tried flipping it but it doesn't look right. Now as far as upside down, the lens is round that's the only way I can explain that. I really wasn't focused on the camera, but more my eye. I was being goofy practicing with my new camera and it turned out pretty well, so then I decided to "play" around with it in Photoshop.

  Shelley, dumb me! I should've realized this was a reflection--but since I didn't know it was supposed to be a self-portrait (maybe your could add this to the title) I didn't realize this was you taking a shot of YOU! I get it now!
