Self-portraits puzzle me - a photo on Flickriver

Self-portraits puzzle me

            Assignment for 3rd week of 52 1/2 weeks of 2009: a self-portrait.
While I am endlessly fascinated by others' self-portraits, I am extremely uncomfortable with my own. So here I am camouflaged, first in my usual business "armor": a suit, silk shirt, pearls,  and lipstick; followed by a severe cropping and nifty panography treatment. 
I chose this treatment because it's apropos to the way I am feeling, something is missing and yet, certain pieces are falling into place.
Maybe it's time for an earth-shattering change, maybe it's just the letdown of not having the 365 project everyday, maybe it's just January...
