This was my entry for another photoclub assignment. In my first attempt I used a handmirror but wanted something more unusual, then a friend and I found a broken mirror from a house remodel so I carted home some large pieces and used one in this image. Natural light from a window on my right and a large piece of white foamcore as a reflector on my left. Now I am posting it on www.iheartfaces.com for their reflection contest so click on over there and check out that site if you are not familiar with it.
This is only the second self portrait that i have ever done properly and was quite happy with the results.
Photographed my boyfriend's eye using my macro rings on a standard kit lens (18-55mm) - I am reflected in his eye for a self reflection brief.

Self-Reflection
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately ..." Henry David Thoreau was a major American philosopher and lived this wish. Thoreau meant to cultivate his mind and communicate directly with nature by living in a cabin near Walden pond. He is our country's early environmentalist. We may not choose a cabin, but we might take a cue from his lifestyle by ridding ourselves of unnecessary belongings and mental baggage. Asian philosophy also speaks of improving our health by encouraging simplicity as well as fostering meditation, perhaps by a small pool or rock garden. You might revise your own environment by adopting some of these ideas.
Will you examine your reflections?

Even though there are no reflections anywhere in here... just blagh. I hate self-portraits these days. I cant make them look good. All it is is me sitting here all blarrrgh like and giving no emotion. And, I cant figure out how to make the SB900 work well... I seriously twinked this in Photoshop alot. D:
