I always believe what count is the man behind the camera. No matter what is your camera and lenses, if you dont know how to use it, you wont be able to shoot good photos. I have a friend who shoot with a camera phone, and his photos never fail to amaze me. I wonder how his photo would be if he use a DSLR camera with high quality lens.
Notes: It wasnt a self portrait. It was my friend.

This photo was taken at nite, using slow speed technique. STAN is stand for Sekolah Tinggi Akuntansi Negara, place where I go college.
I take this photos around blue hour (around 6 pm). The sun had set that time and the park lamps were turned on. I noticed the lights would be a nice background so I turned on my camera and asked her to pose for me. I set the apperture value to its max 1.8, set the picture style to Romantic and then composed the shot. Voila, it turned out great!

And where can I see some of your cell-phone camera friend’s photos?
I agree about the equipment and the man behind the camera. The reflection comes from the eye – the inner self. The camera is just the vehicle to convey the data. I get so mad when people say “wow, good shot, you must have a really good camera..” (roll my eyes)… And yes, I’ve seen blogs that feature only camera phone shots as well. They are amazing. (Andrew I’ll see if I can find the link to the one I visit frequently). Nice silhouette and self portrait (self portrait?)
It’s not a self portrait, it was my friend.
