Tools, I think you mean paradox. :-)
Although a picture of yourself in the mirror isn't a paradox, its simply light reflection. You're just collecting in your camera lens the light reflected off of your body from the very recent past and then reflected again off the mirror.
This reminds me of the twin paradox:
Two twin brother are born on earth, one gets in a spaceship and travels at close to the speed of light to some point out in space and then returns. When he meets his twin brother on earth the twin that stayed is an old man, while the twin who traveled is still young.
This happens because of the nature of space-time and how once you get up to speeds close to the speed of light your experience with time actually starts to be impacted.
Google the twin paradox, special relativity and time-dilation if you're more interested.

Would that also work to control the para-dime created by taking a picture of yourself taking a picture of yourself in a mirror.

Errr... I'm pretty sure that the reason the glass packing works is because it physically absorbs the sound waves and transfers it into kinetic energy. The kinetic waves would cancel each other out to some extent, and the rest would be transferred into the motorcycle, but it's so small you won't notice it because the engine alone generates much more kinetic movement (vibrations etc).
If it was only in-phase/out-of-phase cancellation then you'd have some coordinates in space that were quiet, but if you moved your head a little bit it would be extremely loud (think of dropping two pebbles into still water and watching the ripples interact with eachother, but mapped into 3-d space).
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to put on my pocket protector and go back to my game of dungeons and dragons.
