Simply put, I caught a cool reflection in my faucet handle, grabbed my camera and snapped it :)

Throughout the progression of this photo project, I realize when I'm at a loss for an interesting picture of something, I'll just end up using myself as the subject. It helps me practice techniques photographing people and forces me to get creative with camera placement since I'm not behind the viewfinder. I used my tripod for this photo and got to know it's swivel capabilities and leg extenders very well.
To be honest, I'm not fond of the lamp pole in the background but this lamp provided the best spotlight. I really like silhouettes because of their simplicity. It's amazing how an outline can draw out a figure so familiar. This is why I love the Live Inspired Positively Green card collection.

I guess a desire for some perspective prompted this photo. This was probably my 20th attempt to get a photo with my feet in the foreground and the rest of my body still visible from behind. At first, I had several pictures of the bottom of my feet but felt something was missing. Then I tried to get my face visible through my spread out toes -- let me tell you, the 10 sec camera timer had never felt longer. I was contorting my body in ways I should never attempt again without proper yoga training. After some tricky camera positioning, eventually, I snapped this guy.
