Helen, both pics deserve a second look, and the second one has a lovely snapshot feeling to it - chopped-off head and all. Very ... 60:s/70:s style..love it. Keep it up!

and YES I Quite Agree
Its got that Retro Feel Going
the other shot a 1958 DR Cron on M2
All the Best to You- H

The best camera is one that still works!
I also thought that Helen's second shot has something special about it ... there's a quality that makes you keep looking.

This self-portrait was taken to include in my open-ended Self-Assignment of photos of photographers taking photographs.

I have only done one and it was a class assignment. It has been on my website for years but it is not identified as a self portrait. I will have to do some more some day.

No, poor Bob. I met him for lunch one day and he's an ugly white dude just like the majority of the rest of us.
Of course there's Helen Hill to consider. Could those sexy self portraits of hers be Bob Michaels in drag?

Cameras are like bunnies
From time to time I make a selfportrait at work. It's a place I spend a lot of time at and wouldn't otherwise have pictures from.

I'm always behind the camera, never in front of. So a mirror is a necessary evil if I want to be seen.
then there's this, Rolleiflex propped on a rock from the ground.

Was playing with the Mamiya 7II + flash - but as I had the flash and umbrella mounted on my solid tripod. Unfortunately over the roll I shot using the self-timer the tridpod head slowing began tilting down. After this they just got worse

excellent insights and photos!
This made me want to do my own self portrait project
I'm thinking of using my Minolta SLR with my 28mm rather than my FED 5V and I-61 so I could utilize hyperfocal distance and it will be wide enough so I could fit

I had to do this one for a magazine article a few years back -- the story was about 'guys and their cars'. They had a guy who was 'Hybrid Guy', another who was 'Hummer Guy', there was a 'Sports Car Guy' (interestingly, it was the fellow who wrote 'Black Hawk Down'), and I was 'Vintage Car Guy'.
Nice thing was that I shot all the other portraits too -- so I was in the article, and got paid for it too!

This is a selfy taken with a Busch Pressman D on Polaroid Type 54. I used one of those mechanical timers to trip the shutter. Exposure was f11 @ 1/2 second.
