Photo Challenge: Self Portrait

How would I create an image that would represent me in several ways? Armed with my Canon 7D with a 105mm lens, light kit and a few spare hours, I surveyed my room for objects that would best describe me.
First and for most, I love film cameras, so including the Mamiya 645 was most important. Second, a picture of my daughter and niece. And third, I love to read and do free writing, so i wanted to represent that.
I positioned myself against my wall with a shelf behind me that contained items - and a few more- representing these aspects about me.  A picture of my life long partner, Joe, skydiving - that's how we met. The metal balls that I used to rehab my broken ankles with. A quill with a purple feather (since I like to write) and of course, Me,

So, here is me,  looking in-reflecting out...which seems like the story of my life. Always on the outside of what is really happening  -  the quiet observer.
