This was meant just as another reflection self portrait, but with the slightly motion-blurred student behind me, it became a statement on the current state of my life. There I am on a college campus, students with books (and lives) blurred in forward motion, while I have nothing better to do than to stand there with my hands in my pockets. No forward motion.

Or alternatively, they live their lives in a rush, whizzing around with their heads in books - whilst you have time to stand silent and appreciate the subtle beauties of the world...
Reflections can be the mirror of what you see.
I don't know why the hell, but my face looks absolutely demonic in this picture if you click on it to blow it up.
Yeah, it's got some crazy distortions running through it...
I don't like looking at it. It's like I'm straight from the movie "Devil's Advocate".
And thank you on the alternate take, although I have to contradict and say that I'm dying to lose myself in a good education. Thinking of going into photography. But I still love medical... such dilemmas.
Education is a reward in itself, whatever you do.
Medicine and photography are very different ball games. Science versus the arts.
Can you do better as an artist or as a healer? If either is possible, what suits you best?
Devil's Advocate was pretty good IMO.
