I could be more creative or aim for more perfection in my photos, but instead i'm reduced to self sabotage, driven by a distant notion that perhaps a 'vain' photo is a reflection more of the photographer's ego, than of the subject at hand.

Perhaps I should try cultivating some other traits, like idealism. But that would require that I stop being a cynical smartass.

So perhaps I will work on my mischievous sense of humor. I’m off to dirty my fingerprints and do some damage.
