Self-portrait taken in a public distorting bathroom mirror

This is part of my Self-Portrait series in which I take cell phone photos of myself in public reflective services. You can see all of them here.

This photo was taken at a TJ Maxx in Sherman Oaks, California. Like the first Self-Portrait I posted up, this one took some doing to properly line up the distorted image of my face in the mirror on the phone camera. But, I really love how it turned out.
