Another TPF Contest - You and Your Camera
Ok, I just had a new idea for one of these little "no prize" contests. Show a picture of yourself with your camera.
(click to see bigger at Flickr)
I was downtown today enjoying the start of my 4-day weekend, and decided to have some fun with The Bean.

Nice one, Ben! I think everyone who visits 'the bean' should take a similar self portrait! Maybe your shot should be 'the Ben'.
Cheers,
Ben
PS. My new(ish) Oly E-500 has run its Lithium batteries to zero, so I will have to either find a travel charger for my nicad or find more of the lithium batteries... otherwise will do a self-portrait somewhere oncve I also get back home.

Well, I hate having my photo taken, so whenever I photograph myself, I try and only show a tiny bit of myself. So, this is no different!

I actually did a selfy with the bean last week but I don't like it, so instead I will show this one using another sculpture by the same artist.
Selfy using Sky Mirror

OK, shot in Capadoccia, Turkey, Nov. 2004.
I don't like appearing in my own photos, so this is as close as you'll get ....

Similarly, about as close as you'll get seeing me in a photo. During a workshop shoot at Dead Horse State Park, Utah over Memorial Day
