I shudder to imagine myself through other's eyes. I'm not crazy about photos of myself or videos. Sometimes we look at ourselves and cringe. I know I do. But that's just those age-old battles of self-loathing that spring upon us. 
I love those pictures. I see you, like me, as fitting into the 'Steampunk' category, (Though I'm not a self-proclaimed follower of anything when it comes to that) but it is so broad even people who consider themselves in that genre can't define it precisely! The best description I found would be the “Revisited Design of the Industrial Revolution” but Wiki covers it great! LOL-

But then again, you certainly are up in up with the digital age-Cyberpunk, it spins my head-While I appreciate technology I'm in no way a 'techie' I'm visually stunned by things like Tron Legacy. But I'm not inclined to envision the 'future' as electronic lights and bodysuits, sterility in form and design all around. (That's sterile in the antiseptic-everything is chrome and white definition!) 
Maybe I'm too much of a 'dystopian' in regards to my tastes in movies and literature. lol. Probably because if someone took a picture of my living space, you would think an A-Bomb hit and the survivors were just learning to get life back into order!

I like that quote, I sort of get it but I still have to ponder it. You deep thinker you!

Great post!
