How on earth do people do self-portraits without using mirrors, or without having the obvious convention of having an arm sticking out, holding the camera up, and yet still stay in focus? It's not easy. I decided this was a good excuse to wear one of my best hats; a vintage Cavanagh homburg. Somehow it looks way too small for my head, but it really isn't.

I wonder if it looks small because the photo is in black and white. Black tends to recede and contract, while whites and lights come forward and expand.
