  2. Yeah, this is a nice candid shot. The colours are great. It’s a ‘self – portrait’ too, right? how clever.

  3. Good eye, Ching. When I took the picture, I was trying to say something about the continuity of family in the face of geographic displacement and lack of self-identity, and… oh, okay, I didn’t actually really realize I was reflected in the mirror until you told me.
