This week’s photo challenge from the Daily Post is: SELFIE.
This shot was snapped in the lavatory of the YWAM building in Amsterdam! I know a little strange…right? But I think all pictures with me in it are a little strange any way you slice it. I think most of us feel that way when it gets right down to it. I find myself wondering if the reason it’s hard to look at ourselves is because it’s easy to deceive ourselves about who we are until we look into our own eyes. Soren Keikegard said,
“The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss – an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. – is sure to be noticed.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, The Sickness Unto Death
I think I may start taking more selfies just to practice seeing the real me.

I absolutely hate pictures of me. Especially “selfies”. Yours is a very nice one. I would have never guessed that was you, though. Well done!
The photo is a little strange but not because your in it, it is definitely the pitch/angle of the ceiling. I was just wondering if the whole ceiling was at these different angles?

Cool photo but I sure hope there wasn’t anyone else in the lav while you were shooting. They might have arrested you for weirdness!!
Fortunately it’s one customer at a time.
