This is a great example of what a self-aware photographer does. The viewer can see the photographer’s self-aware gaze and know that the photographer is aware of the viewer and is doing his or her best to make the scene the viewer is experiencing. This is a nice reminder that the human mind is capable of self-awareness.
If you look at the self-aware gaze in the photograph of the photographer, you’ll see that the photographer looks back to the viewer, as if to say “Hello,” or “My name is ….” So the viewer knows that the photographer recognizes her, and that he or she is doing all that he or she can to make the scene as good as possible.
The self-aware gaze is another manifestation of what we call the “gaze-follows-the-eye” phenomenon. The eyes are doing a lot of the following. And this is all good, because the eyes can see more than just the objects in front of them. The eyes can see what’s behind them, and the ears can hear what’s going on around them, inside them, in the background.
So, by doing this, the eyes and ears are following the self-aware gaze. Because if you look around you, I guarantee you that you will see at least some of your fellow human beings doing the same thing. And you won’t know. You won’t know if they’re following the eyes or the ears. And you probably won’t know why they’re doing it. But you can. So that’s the self-aware gaze.

At any rate, the self-aware gaze is interesting because it is a way of looking at ourselves that seems to be more self-aware than anything else. It’s an art form in itself and the fact that it can be learned and practiced by a non-human being is very promising.
In my opinion, it comes down to this: When you’re looking at a person, what you are truly looking at is how they see themselves. If you are looking at the eyes, you are looking at a person’s perception of their own. If you are looking at the ears, you are looking at a person’s perception of the world around them. Self-aware is a way of looking at yourself that seems to be more self-aware than anything else.
For me, this is one of those tools where I can use it as an excuse to stop and reflect on all the times I’ve ignored it to put myself in an awkward position. For instance, I would never say to a friend, “I’m going to look at your eyes. I see that you’re really good looking.” I’d look at them and say something like, “Oh, I don’t really like them, but I’m glad I have them.
Its a pretty self-aware thing that seems to be at the core of your personality. I always like to think of it as a way of taking myself down a peg. If I am in a bad mood, I would say to myself, I know why Im in a bad mood. By saying this to myself, I can get myself to stop and say to myself, I am going to take a step away from that.
This is a good way to show that you can take yourself down a peg, and not just a very small one, but a really big one. I think a lot of self-aware people do it because they find this a lot easier than if they tried to talk to themselves, or if they had to say out loud, “I dont really like this,” or “I dont think I like this.
