Self Portrait.2

I made this image over the weekend and although I was just messing around at the time I actually like how it places me both outside and inside the camera. The lens being in the foreground with my face in shadow and mostly out of the frame made me think about how I often wish the images I take would speak for them selves and need no explanation. I often find explaining uncomfortably revealing yet I do think that the vast majority of images benefit from the aid of linguistic expression.

I do hide behind a camera and I do try to hide behind my images despite the fact this is undoing my self as if my images reveal nothing about me there seems little point in taking them.

My window by night

This is the view from my window tonight. The car park is emptier than usual and until about 30 seconds ago there were no sirens. People have started going home for the weekend. I'm going tomorrow.

I like how the reflection fades into the building. You can see exactly what's in front of me, and behind.

On the road to Nottingham

These are images I took from the car when my dad drove me back to university from home. They were taken on my compact digital camera so they are relatively low resolution but I quite like the grain. There are arrows pointing forward, mirrors looking back and everything sped by in seconds except the sky. Thats why these three are the ones I chose.
