Self Portrait

Every once in a while I feel like taking a picture of myself. I spend so much time behind the camera that being in front of it feels weird and unnatural. I'm always reminded of how my client must feel and it helps me adjust my way of interacting with them. Today was a strange day. I've been feeling under the weather lately and for some reason I didn't feel like smiling much at all. I discovered an old song by Annie Lennox called COLD and after listening to it on Spotify about 15 times it gave me the urge to take this picture. I've also been wondering if taking more pictures with people not smiling in them will create stronger more compelling images. I don't know but I think I want to find out. The weird thing about this picture is that I'm wondering what I'm looking at and feeling when I look at myself. I don't know, what do you think?
