I think the frame of the glasses is bigger than the lens, that's why there is a distinct edge you can see. On the right (from our point of view the left) lens it's only dimly visible.
Besides that, the left (from our point of view the right) lens reflects something in the background of the camera.

Unfunny
Anyways, even when working for the power company in hydroelectric projects would be awesome, the union is the shit, and ruins the whole experience. And if you don't join the union you're seen as the enemy from the inside.

Conclusion: no yellow hard hat for me

thought i'd try out playing with a mirror, not sure if i like the first.... the camera is actually infront of me, resting on the mirror, but can still focus as the path from me to the mirror is well above the lens' min focusing distance. looks kinda scary in a HAL kinda way

Here's my dead-sexy self on an elephant hunting trip in Sierra Leone. God damn was it hot that day! Luckily I had New Kids On The Block and Hannah Montana to keep me company.
