Forty Years and an M2

[sdotkling]

Found this ancient negative the other day, a bad scan of a scratched frame (thank you, Photoshop) and was astounded at how much time has passed since I took it. And that I once had hair. Almost forty years. So I shot a facsimile a couple of days ago.

Anyone else got self-portraits with camera spanning decades?

Did you get taller?

That is very cool...😎 Only thing changing besides the obvious is the grip with the right hand.:angel:

You redid the bathroom! Well, the next one, in 2051, that will be the hard one. 😉

Thanks for sharing... and breathing new life into a cliche. 🙂

Losing the dungers was a good move!

Oh, I don't know ... more pockets for lenses and film.

I didn't realize people have been doing the in-the-bathroom shot for so long! Maybe you were the first! It is great you are using the same camera for that long.

Different M2. Became a responsible member of society, got married, had kids, sold the cameras, got old...old enough to buy another M2, rebuild darkroom, try again. Wife concerned.
