I really like the second one - it's funny how easy it is for a picture like this to twig a memory because it lacks any of the details that make it recognizable to me (in a very good way!). I can almost hear the seagulls.
re: photographing yourself - does it help if you try your shot from an angle instead of straight on? (kind of like skipping a stone?)Or is it more of a function of the shape of the object making it difficult?
A little of each, really. I think in shiny objects like the coffee pot in the first picture, I see an interesting, distorted reflection and have a hard time positioning myself where the reflection is still interesting but doesn't contain me or the camera. It's an interesting challenge.
