Taking a self portrait (with a film camera) was way more challenging than I thought it would be. After looking in the mirror and seeing that my hair (I’m being absolutely serious here) was in the zone, I grabbed my camera and headed for the roof. Overcast skies give perfect light for black and white pictures, if you didn’t already know. But I quickly realized that getting myself in focus would be difficult, particularly since my aperture was wide open and my camera is fully manual. So I had to use a broom for a focal point and then guesstimated where I needed to be. Remember that an effective portrait needs to have the eyes in focus. And I got it done. And my hair looks fabulous. Fin.





Awesome shot, but you already knew that.
So you’re jumping on the vampire bandwagon here?
