Be The Camera [Self Portraits Studio Photographs]
Uploaded: February 20, 2007 04:01:06
"Wish I were a camera
I wish it all the time
It gives my eyes a reason
It gives my life a rhyme"
Refrain from the song, "Camera" by Crosby, Stills, and Nash. For Photogroup 101 theme.
Merge of photos of my Nikon D200 and of myself taken with an IR remote (with and without holding the camera - the remote is the reason for the clenched fingers). Combined in PSP 11. The self-portrait was the most difficult part; since I was an uncooperative model. In fact, I almost refused to sign the model release to allow me to post this. That's why I don't photograph people ;)

You have made this clown laugh.ROTF Your humor tells me you should become a clown. There are people out there that could use your humor. Even if it's only in photos. :O)Lynne Morris February 20, 2007
