Me, myself and I

Ah! I have finally got around to perusing the lovely
kneeshooter's Declaration pics and what do I spy? Not one, not two but three pictures of me looking drunk, pensive and baffled by turns! The makeup appears to have held up, so expect one or more of them to become icons in short order.
It was brought to my attention at this event that while others scan the photos wondering if they will feature in this season's gallery, my mindset is more one of how many times and how good do I look. (Usually quite good, which I attribute to Mr White's photographic ability and quality control. Compare the third shot to this one, where I look like a sad git with too much hair and makeup that's rubbing off.) And it must be confessed - this is indeed how I approach the Disturbing gallery, and I had rather lost sight of the fact that others are not similarly ubiquitous. But given a four-figure attendance, and the mere 133 photos presented, in retrospect it seems self-evident.
Still, I feel the reason for this pictorial blessing is hardly specific to myself, as there are plenty of (multiple) images of others of Mr White's acquaintance. Witness the many faces of
nattydreadai,
arwel and indeed pretty much all of the White Lions - my favourite perhaps being this gem, which is just all sorts of awwww.
I suppose it just goes to show ... hum ... Oh, I know, it goes to show that the best way for a photographer to get exposure is to put up pictures of narcissistic people with internet journals.
Or something.
