I may be a dirty rotten Narcissistic Psychopath
Whether or not these are selfies or self portraits is splitting hairs. Are these pictures of myself put on this website because I’m a narcissistic psychopath, or simply to share ideas about pictures? I guess the framing of that story is what the viewer brings to a photograph as baggage. Add into that mix our human tendency toward halo bias and voila – there are the pictures that I made and the pictures that you see. In one sense we’re looking at the same pictures. In another, we’re looking at different pictures of the same visual content. Some will call me a narcissistic psychopath. Others will call me an overeducated photographer with too much free time on my hands. Or I may even just be another crazy firefly hanging out on the Internet for validation that I exist. OK, that’s deep.
