In appreciation of the one true photographic art form this weekend, and the untimely demise of your previous moderator, post your best selfies* here! Note that I don't really care if you're in the picture or not, I'm going to leave this open to interpretation and see what you come up with.

* Bonus points given for:
- Absurdly expensive / elaborate camera being used to take a selfie

- Animal selfies automatically get +1000 points

My office is in the front room of a run-down 12 megapixel sensor but the rent suits me and the landlord doesn't ask many questions.

I took the photo with the 8x10. The phone is there to show the false dichotomy of a consumer driven culture assuming that the easiest method of photographic expression will always be the one chosen. My point is also illustrated by the disparity between the cheap bath towel that appears to be slung haphazardly on the wall be hind me, contrasted with the linen scented hand soap bought at Trader Joe's. I choose to cover my head with a wool cap, indoors. This implies that either I'm too poor to heat nonliving areas of my house or that I'm on my way out the door. Possibly implying that I can afford to eat out more often than my working man's clothing belies. Note the position of the light switches. Two up and one down. We can clearly see there is only one light on in this room, showing that the inherent democratic majority of the switch is in favor of darkness. We read from right to left the "on" switch is in the last position. An allegory for the journey through life. Darkness asked for and darkness received until we are prepared to accept that a bold choice may bring us into the light.

The barren bathroom counter imposes a certain calm order to the room but the viewer can not know that underneath the exterior placidity lies random junk I have no where else to store.The facet being front and center allows the act of "hand washing" as a cleansing ritual to feature prominently in the piece. This allows the viewer to metaphorically wash their hands of your posts. The deliberate omission of the toilet in the field of view lets the viewer draw their own conclusions about what is excrement (your posts) and how we view it in a cultured society (poorly, much like your posting).

Look, if you had one shot
or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
in one moment
Would you capture it...
or just let it slip?

that's all well and good but if you didn't shoot the gay dog wedding with your 8x10 you have no claims to credibility

why even own an 8x10 otherwise
