April Theme Day - My Camera-shy Self Portrait

The City Daily Photo Blog community's April theme is basically a camera-shy selfie, so of course I have been taking a lot of reflection shots. In this shot I was attempting to take a pic of the neon crowns in the window of the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) which are there to promote the Basquiat show since the crown is Basquiat's trademark. After I uploaded this pic to my computer I saw the 'selfie' sign in the upper right and of course that is a shy me to the left with Dundas St reflected in the window.
