I was tempted by the idea of depicting myself using a camera, but not in a traditional way. So I tried a 4 sec. exposure holding my S5000 in front of me for 2 sec. Of the 58 attempts I did (it's really hard to hold steady and have a decent shot with this exposure) this is the best one I could manage.

clever, but I think that you could have put on a shirt. the long exposure adds an interesting touch, that makes this stand out above most of the other camera pictures
Definitely different. I do think a shirt version would have impressed me more - no insult intended, it just seems that the subject of the shot is the chest, and I don't think that's what you meant. The camera just hides the face enough to make it confusing, which leaves the chest and arms as the easiest thing to look at. I mean all this constructively; hope I'm not insulting.
Returning for comment. Interesting idea. It seems your intent was to disguise your face; perhaps using different lighting and a tighter crop would have helped. You should feel good about taking a risk.
