How about some self portraits

Now THAT is just an incredible pic!! :cool: I'm off down to Murphy's Pub!

Whoa there, slow down and wait for me. I'll go with you. Glad you liked the snap. While street shooting, I usually stop for a pint or two, to rehydrate and get some stationary street shot's. I just sat there at Kell's Pub, and waited for the elements to fall into place. I then just tripped the shutter. The real bummer is how fast it happened. I was looking forward to a long wait behind many (photo blinds) pints. Nothing like a pint of the focusing fluid to get your motivation going.......

I'll send you a print, if you'd like. I said "print", not pint! Here's another "Pub" snap.

I'm rather fond of the "focusing fluid" myself. :)
This photo was taken last St. Patrick's Day.
Today I'm recovering from last nights "St. Practice Day" celebrations. If I got anything in focus it'll be amazing.

That's a nice snap of you giving a lecture on the advantages of combining focusing fluid with rangefinders. Damn, I'm sorry that I missed that seminar. Don't forget my invitation next year.

Russ, that's not me. I forgot this thread was suppose to be self-portraits. sorry.
That's actually Chad, lead singer of Larkin. they play Irish drinking and rebel songs.

My avatar is my portrait. Taken when I was much younger, about 37 years younger.

Nice Avatar and self portrait. But that does not explain why there is not a pint of the focusing fluid, in your hand. Age is no excuse!

Taken with my first rangefinder, an Olympus 35LC. My friend pre-focused on my eyes, them we wrapped a sheet of paper around the lens.
 
Here is my "selfy" ala Peter, do you think this is what Mr. Leitz had in mind for his camera? Mens room portraits :)
 
it's not a bathroom...

it's not a bathroom...

But, I finally took a recent picture of myself with a rangefinder...the Canonet I picked up on Thursday.

Is that the Canonet GIII QL-17? I'd love to hear your opinion on it. I was just using mine, earlier today.

I know... I KNOW! ;)

I just didn't have one with me at the time. However, I am going back there this week with my R2. Lots of good photo opportunites there. I'll probably shoot a couple rolls easy.
 
Sorry not with a rangefinder! (DLSR!!!)

Me using a 15mm sigma fish on an old Petri SLR and me and a fellow in the car on a shiny winter day. Also with the fish, but on a dSLR that time. The picture is quite old, though... got new glasses and a new haircut.
