♥ i'm starting with the man in the mirror.

the self portrait project by photographer andy lin

is described as a "glorified photobooth," a small room with a two

way mirror that has a camera behind it. people are given a trigger remote

and the power to decide how they want to look and what they want to be doing

when the flash goes off. lin hopes to use this project to capture the "zeitgeist of

new york and beyond" and to explore the ideas of empowerment,

self awareness, superficiality and substance.

"the self portrait project begins with a metaphorical premise: that to catalyze

a positive and healing inertia in the world, one must first see one's self

honestly in the mirror and then, to take responsibility for what one sees."
