Self_Portrait

I was looking in a display case in an antique/thrift shop place.
Since my Nikon doesn't have "live view", I had to hold the camera
down at my waist and shoot blind.

I have to start remembering to carry around some face powder
to pat on my head to minimize that bare scalp glare if I'm going
to any more self-portraits.

    Cool shot, Tony, and a nice background for photographers. Mickey Mouse's hand almost seems to be coming out of the lens.

    I have attempted lots of shots like this, most of them failures, but I finally learned that the way you can tell the camera is pointed correctly is when the reflection that you see of the lens is pointed directly at your face. Seems obvious in retrospect, but it took me a long time to realize it.

    Very intriguing shot, Tony. I'm glad to see you back in action.....you've always got an interesting perspective on things.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
