Sure, it's a self portrait. That's what I'm saying anyway. And it's mine, so you hvae to believe me, right?
Gray's Anatomy is a treasure trove for someone like me who can't draw.
Self portrait made with a pinhole in a tin plate mounted behind a Nikon body cap on a D70s. The pinhole is no smaller than 0.5mm, and the inside face of the body cap is about 2mm forward of the F-mount face which is just about exactly 45mm in front of the nominal film plane. The focal length was about 47mm. The exposure has been lightly corrected in PS.
Nikon D70s, pinhole, 47 mm, f/90, 1/13 s, ISO 1600
My final assignment for portraiture class was to emulate the research that we did for our paper on a portrait photographer. I chose Robert Mapplethorpe to write about for the research paper. Many of his self portraits were low key and had sort of a sinister look or feel.
This quarter was so busy at school that I have neglected to post much or visit my contacts streams. I'll try to catch up some this winter break.
Self portrait I took on my 1958 Yashica TLR. 120 film, taken at night.

On someone's suggestion I came down to Mooney's Bay, by myself.
Then suddenly I came up with an idea to just put the camera down and take a shot of me in this state, whether it focused on me or not. I think it looks just fine, if not better, focusing on the grass.
The idea of self-reflection is quite true: for instance, I don't have school, no job, and no friends at all to hang out with. My whole life is ahead of me.
Mooney's Bay is perhaps one of my most favorite places in this city. Unfortunately I couldn't stay long - I had to get all the way back home, about 14.94 km away. If I had my way I'd have gone swimming, right there. It's a sandy bottom, no sea weed, and the water is beautiful.
It's kind of lonely there too. That's how I feel anyway. Man, the grass did a good job, I love this composition.
Taken at the Embarcadero, San Francisco. My last morning was spent wandering around my favourite city, so I figured I'd get in on this self-portrait malarkey for a one-off pretentious Black and White.
I know. Warped perspective on the legs (<3 10mm lens).
