PD's Photos
Self Portrait
Posted by PD (Overland Park, Kansas, United States) on 29 October 2008 in People & Portrait.
So you can now see why I don't do portraits. This is me with a few of my old cameras that I collect.
Thanks for stopping by. Check out my portfolio link to see my favorites.

Wonderful idea, PD ... and yes, I can see why you don't "do portraits" ... it would take to long to decide which camera to use! <grin>

@MadScientist: Thanks Mad S. I actually used the rolleiflex quite a bit when I was a kid - it has a schneider lens and takes great pics.

I got so caught up in reading all the comments you garnered that I nearly forgot to comment myself. Don't see a thing wrong with your portrait Paul. Keep on with the collecting!

Nice to meet you, PD! Your camera collection is turning me a bit green with envy, though. I really like your images, too. Kansas looks pretty similar to Michigan this time of year judging by the photos.

gbe from kansas city, United States
nice pic, and collection. do you ever use the rolleiflex?
30 Oct 2008 3:37am
@gbe: Last time I used it was a couple of years ago. It takes 127 film and produces a 4cm x 4cm negative. I should try it again, but finding the film is a problem... and I do like my digital :)
Joanie D from United States
Now that didn't hurt so much did it? You look handsome the picture, even if I do say so myself. Love you! JB

You took a wonderful self portrait PD. There were a lot of brave souls today. And they were all great. Me, I honestly got busy with work I had to catch up on. I might get brave enough to try one soon.

@Mary: Please do post a portrait Mary !
Denise from Perry, United States
Great job, a pleasure meeting you, I do, however, think I saw you on your father's site. I just posted a self portrait ( jokingly) in the reflection of a hubcap later this week. That's as brave as I get these days....
