The problem when you are reasonably good at photography

is that you don't end up having any photos of yourself, or, at least, any decent ones: if you aren't completely over or under-exposed, you end up with weird implements sticking out of your head. Why can't people look at the whole of the view finder and ask themselves a couple of vital questions such as:
a) What is the subject?  Is it Sento-kun the weird freak mascot of Nara city, that is a cross between Buddha and a deer, and, thus, has offended a whole load of people, and cost the tax payer a ridiculous amount of money to design?  Or, is it Rebecca together with Sento-kun?
b) Does Rebecca have a coat hanger sticking out of her head?
