About First with 4x5 Zero pinhole and Polaroid - a 25 minute exposure. I am actually in the image but more it's about the emotional side of a self portrait .. something about the image draws me .. it's not a great image by any means .. still it has something that pleases me - it's personal , and therefore self portrait .. maybe that makes sense to someone .. if not that's ok ..

I like it. Very moody. Something about the vignetting and the way it sort of stretches things around the edges. Also, that mysterious shiny dark object in the right part of the frame (a car bumper? That's my best guess)

great work John. Absolutely stunning tones here, also like the motion, and the 25mm....
Beautiful mood here too. bravo!

Very interesting shot. Reminds me of a dream scene from an old horror movie! I really like it a lot!

I like it, and I see where you're coming from.

But in a way all the images we take are our personal self portraits because we took them, and seeing each other's images is looking through each others eyes.

It's been said a lot on this sight describing projects, "a shot that only you could take" I think that adds a personal signature which can be viewed as self portrait. Like being able to create a mental picture of someone by just looking at their book collection or DVD collection.

I agree with D.G. it has your own style and it creates a special mood. Like the motion effect and the pinhole-camera creates a special light

nice weekend in NYC,
Pia
