Hi Jay,
A fitting quotation as it took me sometime to find you! :-)

And I didn't say anything about be sharp, instantly visible or recognizable.
Only to find oneself in a reflection or otherwise self-portrait as such.

Obviously not everyone was, is, or obviously recognizable! It still came and
comes down to finding yourself.  As in Alastair Firkins incredible photo
with it's halo.

Having a challenge for your viewers to find you, is still interesting !

Cheers,
Dr. ted
