Welcome to my blog dedicated to my self portrait photography. I've made self portraits since 1971 but have only made a serious effort to make one a day since 2009. Some have incorrectly suggested I invented the "selfie" and even though I made my first one in 1976, people have been making them for years before me. Thanks for checking them out!
My first night in NOLA I took Kate and Eldon to Rocky and Carlos in "Da Parish", after dinner, I backed into a power pole I didn't see, here is the morning after photo.
Rosemary asked me to make a print of one of my R.I. nephews for his birthday, I found a great back and white negative from the files and did the scan and worked the image for a while. I was generally unhappy with the scanned version of the image and said, well, why not, and when to the school house and made a real black and white silver print. The image looked great, and although I can not say the same for color, I think the qualities of a silver print, are, within the limitations of my scanner and printer, superior to anything I can do in inkjet. So far.
