Accidental self-portrait

I've always had a thing about photos taken when not looking through the viewfinder - they can have an 'edge' to them. It's probably why quickly grabbed shots often work well. The chopping off of subjects by a camera's frame also adds life and has been used by painters going back to Dégas and probably beyond.

The camera went off by mistake after returning a barbel in the rain last night, and I liked the resultant abstract chevron thing that's going on, the flash/available light thing and the muted colours.



Pretentious, moi? :D
