Shadowy selfie

I'm generally not one for selfies.

I specifically took up photography because I don't particularly enjoy being on the receiving end of a lens, and hiding behind the camera gives me the perfect excuse to stay out of the picture.

But as digital photography has become an increasingly pervasive part of everyday life, taking random photos of ourselves here and there has become a nice, if somewhat narcissistic, way of keeping in touch and of placeholding our journey through this thing called life.

I'm not sure if a shadowy projection on a crumbling wall counts, but I promised my wife I'd take one of myself, so this will have to do.
