Description


---
I was thinking of posting this accidental selfie last night when I saw Mitch's amazing "Self Eye" entry (I think it should win Grand Prize!).
----
I actually found this in my Photo Stream (iPhone); I must have accidentally shot it.
---
The colors and grain are part of the shot--not edited. But I cropped off most of the distorted part of my nose (at least I HOPE it is not THAT large).

-----
I do like the expression though. This may become my new thumbnail on BP!

I am fascinated. An accident that bears repeating, if indeed that can happen--for then it isn't an accident anymore. The strange colors blending into one another, and especially the grain, make this quite striking. I LIKE it.(And thanks for the kind words about my iPad excursion--I didn't allow any part of my nose to remain in that one.) #11063472
