Today’s photo is a self-portrait in the sense that it represents me but doesn’t show me. It’s a strange concept, I know. I entered this in a weekly contest with that theme—a self-portrait that wasn’t a photo of you. I set up this shot of my knitting bag at the last minute and submitted it like you see it, in black and white. Don’t ask me how, but it won. Maybe it was the only entry that followed the rules; I honestly don’t know.

The processing wasn’t special, and I don’t think the image is, either. The judges saw something in it, though, so I present it here. Please leave comments if you want to discuss it.
