Kind of scary yes, why do we forget to smile while making self portraits ? Are large camera users too serious and stiff ? ^@^

Large format photography is not only about size.
Maybe we are concentrating so hard???? When I smile I always look like it is fake.

Wealth is a state of mind.
Money is just a tool.
Happiness is pedaling +25mph on a smooth road.

Steve, you look like Stephen King, only in good shape. Remind me never to get you mad, or to draft you for my large format football team.
Frank, funny you should mention Stephen King .. In my youth I've had ppl follow me out of stores telling me I look like John Travolta..
Jeff,
A very, very pretty young female friend of mine was assigned to shoot a portfolio of nude self portraits by her university prof. This was for her graduating portfolio submission.
I told her to report the prof.
Instead, she shot 12 pictures of herself, exposing a bare ankle only, an elbow only, etc etc.
She never revealed anything even close to an intimate view. Rather brilliant I thought.
She got a very good grade on the project.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
Not really a portrait ... my dive partner took my picture with a Nikonos just after a great dive. Its the best and only picture of me.
