Cool Shot! Nice to know that I'm not the only one with the camera in front of me for a self portrait. :)Ben M. Trapnell June 21, 2004
Michelle - you are right, I am behind the camera. What I thought was interesting, however, was the cloud formation above me. I always feel like dancing when I get to work with my camera! Taking a picture of a cloud didn't seem to convey the thoughts in my mind. When I saw the clouds in the turn signal of this motorcycle, however, I just knew I had to get it. Serendipity - now that's fun! #608372AnnaMarie Savino June 21, 2004

Nice job Ben! I have to do a self-portrait for my photography class and I am really struggling with a way to make it creative! You did a great job! #609340Ben M. Trapnell June 22, 2004
Thanks, everyone, for the encouraging comments. This is one of my favorite captures. I'm grateful to the owner of this bike for liking to keep his/her chrome clean! #610127Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
