Yikes, put on your dark glasses: it's a self-portrait. I think it's time I started leaving comments again. Sorry for my absence. Just a mental vacation. I'll try to make the rounds starting now.

love the recent images with the bikes in snow, especially dali's.

Cool strong contrast. Like the "V" of the composition (for want of a better description...).

Excellent self-portrait. I'm particularly drawn to the two different types of light in the shot: the subterranean, florescent variety running off to the left and the natural light from somewhere above that's spilling on to you from the stairwell. Which will you choose?

What a coincidence to see you in the same posture as me on my picture! Thank you very much for you comment, I'm honored by it! Great triangle composition, with the stairs symbolising the way to (en)light(enment) and progress which I wish to you!

This is a great shot. Are you shooting into a convex mirror? It looks great in black & white.

I always wanted to take that kind of pphoto in the mirror at the corner of my street but now I moved and I never took it! I like it very much, congratulation!

Thank you for your message in my photoblog! ;)

We all slack off a bit here and there... this is a tough gig, ya know! This is a GREAT self-portrait, Damon!! Love the stark value of those b/w tones and that staircase behind you.

My kind of shot - I know what you mean by mental vacation - time I started to get back into the photoblog world again. Your scope of style and subject seems to be ever-increasing
