I spend so much time taking pictures of other people, I thought it might be a nice change to put myself on a different side of the camera. This shot also gives me an opportunity to update those really really really outdated profile pics I've been using over and over again for ages now. No artificial light was used in the making of this photo, just the light from the sunrise coming through the window.

Canon EOS 60D body with a Sigma 17-70mm f2.8 DC Macro OS lens.
