Spoor of the Bookworm

Self portrait

I've been looking at the photographs of Vivian Maier a lot since I was introduced to them via the Bliposphere, today I was mainly looking at her self portraits characteristically taken using reflections in mirrors and windows or of her shadow. Hence this effort. I must emphasise I am not attempting to emulate her style, methods or anything else, if I was then this picture would be a woeful failure. The only element of "homage" is the use of a reflection. I deliberately took this handheld to introduce the camera shake ( I have a pronounced tremor these days so use a tripod for virtually everything) in an attempt to capture something of the way I encounter the world at the moment - shaking and with vision blurred by cataracts.
