Not a first, but a 'picture', self portrait made when between dark rooms. No darkness, no camera used. 4x5 film pressed in daylight against face lightly oiled, processed in daylight, then later contact printed.

Very interesting!
I have a fired ceramic mask made the same way.

mine was made using adhesive tape against my face
Jac and John, you just showed photographs that have never been done before.
The real question is not whether it has all been done before but whether all the elements that have been done before have been curated and edited to create a message like this before.
And even then, if that grouping has been done before has it been presented to this group of people to form their opinions of the message before?
Infinite possibilities.
Everything has been done. There are no new ideas, no original ideas. If you look at the contemporary art world, a lot of it focuses on appropriation. Originality has become irrelevant. Though, Kirk and I, who have both spent a lot of time at the School of the Art Institute, may have a skewed perspective on this.
