I’m not a fan of the ‘selfie’ but I do like to enter into the spirit of things so have decided to post some ‘selfie’ reflections, neither intended… the first was taken at the Village Green Festival, where my eldest son performed live, singing and playing guitar, in a festival setting for the first time. The photo is a reflection of me through his sunglasses and in the second… I was aiming to take a photo of my Mutley dog in the boot of my car after a long romp over the rolling Dartmoor hills… she (and we) had a wonderful time!
I guess the camera is a part of my heart and soul so any ‘selfie’ was always going to have the camera in front of my face!
A reflection of me through my son’s sunglasses… I love the way the photo reflects again through the lens!
Mutley… who is also a reflection of me… she is a part of me.

Thank you for liking my ‘selfie’. I’m not a huge fan of them either because I’m very critical of my appearance. I like your ‘point of view’ for this challenge.
Feb 09, 2014 @ 01:52:57
You’re very welcome and thank you too! I would always rather be behind the camera than in front of it! 😉

Creative and wonderful entry – love both shots but especially the first.
Feb 09, 2014 @ 11:37:11
Thank you! I’m surprised the first one didn’t come out all blurry as I was holding a carrier bag and a burger in my left hand at the time! 🙂
Feb 09, 2014 @ 06:41:29
Both great images.
Feb 09, 2014 @ 11:40:37
Thank you kindly! 🙂

That’s a very creative way of doing it! Wish I had thought of that with my hairy boy! X
Feb 09, 2014 @ 11:44:16
Heh heh thanks! There’s still time! 🙂
Feb 09, 2014 @ 11:52:11
I have just notice that you said you took mutley on Dartmoor! You must live near me cos I live on the edge of Dartmoor! It’s a small world x
Feb 09, 2014 @ 11:58:32
You lucky thing! No, unfortunately we were only on holiday. Absolutely love Dartmoor and Devon in general… also love Cornwall! I’ve been down that way every year for about the last 24 odd years! Hope to live somewhere down there in the future! 😀

Oh I see! That’s a shame! It is beautiful here! Well at the mo it is wet, windy, cold and muddy! Hehe! X
Feb 09, 2014 @ 16:53:12
Same here and I’d rather be cold, wet, windy and muddy there than here! 😉

Beautifuuuullll laaaaddaayyyy!! Interesting approach to the selfie, accidental selfies, I like it a lot! Really cool approach to it I think, you found a way to make the selfie more soulful and non cheesy. Good work and good for not shying away 🙂 xxx
Feb 09, 2014 @ 23:30:23
Grazie bella! Shying away was my first instinct, as I’m not one for the ‘selfie’ but glad you think my approach was a good one! Bless you! 🙂 xxx

Feb 13, 2014 @ 10:58:44
Heh heh thanks! 🙂

Not impressed that WP didn’t show me you’d posted on my newsfeed. Grump grump grump. Noce to see what a third of your face looks like, and very jeaous of your monster-size lens (unless it’s the magnifying effect of your son’s glasses, in which case I’ll let you off).
Mar 03, 2014 @ 22:20:51
“nice” and “jealous”. That’s karma biting me on the bum.
Mar 03, 2014 @ 22:23:44
I just assumed you’d been chatting to Mr Merlot! 🙂
Mar 03, 2014 @ 22:29:06
If only 😀 Nope, just typing too fast for my own good!
Mar 03, 2014 @ 22:22:59
Haha it does look rather huge doesn’t it but you can let me off… it’s the magnifying effect of son’s glasses! 😉
