I'm no good at self portraits at all.
I've not shot a portrait of anyone else for that matter !
Just me, on the escape flight from the Hungarian mosquitoes
From my Strange Period. Thankfully short-lived (though some would argue it never ended...).
What do you mean "thankfully short-lived"? I find this picture to be bold and eye catching. I guess that it is somewhat creepy due to the lack of legs but this is creepy in a good way as far as I am concerned.
I'd like to see more shots from your strange period, really.
Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
Nikon Samurai #13
"A photographer is known by what he shows not by what he throws. The best photographers have the biggest trash cans." Quote from Nikon School sometime in the early 1970's.
OK...here it is...my granddaughter wanted this one taken...so held the camera at arms length...hehe...so there...now I've done it...I hope I don't break your screens...sheesh...I hate my picture...hehe
“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed, and is, thereby, a true manifestation of what one feels about life in its entirety...” - Ansel Adams
I thought the reflection of the curtains particularly was attractive.
Then I realised that I couldn't escape being in the shot, I hid behind the table
The bed is empty because my wife is having a shower while I "get ready" to go back to the Zolder 24 hours.
Which means more motorsport photos soon

Hi Adina,
I've always enjoyed your self-pics and the images of your girls...beauty runs in the family, obviously. Since I've been away for so long, here's one of me that isn't too, too old. Been a long time since I've posted anything here, hope it loads, and too bad it's my ugly mug. :-)
I always look better overexposed and tightly cropped than in real life---I like my eyes and mouth and that's the jist of it
my contribution from a few days ago(a week maybe) working on new ones just need more inspiration/time ---You're beautiful as always Miss Adina ;)
"I was not trying to be shocking, or to be a pioneer.
I wasn't trying to change society, or to be ahead of my time.
I didn't think of myself as liberated, and I don't believe that I did anything important.
I was just myself. I didn't know any other way to be, or any other way to live.".
because I have a new one. I'm trying to get one where I don't look like such a freak...
Adina, So that IS your eye in your avatar. Am I right? Good pic. Quite the opposite of freakish.
I just found this thread. It's neat seeing what everyone looks like after reading so many of your posts. It's like reading the book and then seeing the movie...except it's not a movie...and I don't really read books...
Anyway. I'll dig this thread up again after I do a self-portrait. I've been wanting an excuse to destroy some perfectly good film.
