Ok, fine, I've been watching this post all day to see if someone else would respond first.
I'm really sorry if this is rude, but: This is another "I don't get it" post. Perhaps I'm just not seeing right today, but this seems the equivalent of drawing a line on a piece of paper and submitting to an art forum.

"Ok, your pencil works, go create something".

I thought that he had created a self-portrait... but your post makes me doubt that thought now...

Sign me,

Confused and dismayed on the interwebz.

He pointed a camera at himself and pushed the shutter. There's nothing great about the pose, the lighting or anything that would make it more of a snapshot. I dunno, I'm really not trying to come off as a jerk. I'll read my post again later and if In fact I was a jerk, I will retract and delete

There's no right or wrong answer in art. It's about what you perceive.

Hi Fred.
Nice to meet you!

 

[Derrel]

The mirror self portrait of the photographer is sort of an inside joke...ummmm...why, I even use one as MY avatar, here in a photography forum...it's kind of a long-standing insider's nudge-nudge, wink-wink kind of deal...

Well, you can't take a photo of an inside joke and then be surprised when someone doesn't get it! LOL
