I'll open the commentary shall I?!

The guidance states "You should include your camera or some reference to your photographic interest ". How do I include my camera and use it to take the picture of myself (given that this is a self-portrait competition)? There can only be so many pictures taken in a mirror. Anything taken by anyone else is, I assume, invalid and not everyone has more than one camera.

Finally, the opening two images seem to ignore the above guidance (or maybe interpret it in a way that is beyond my comprehension).

This'll be an interesting one!
