I was nominated by Joyce Peng to do a 7-day self-portrait challenge: 7 days, 7 self-portraits, and 7 nominations to keep this going with other artists/photographers.  I invite Kirk Lau to take the time to extend the fun.

I put a small twist to this challenge as well.  I will be composing self-portraits through the viewfinders of different cameras.

The last of the challenge, I feature a very special camera.  The 1955 Graflex Speed Graphic camera mounted with Kodak 178mm Aero Ektar f2.5 lens.  Being large format, the focusing screen is again upside down and reversed left to right.  At f2.5, the screen is super bright and you can see the bokeh clearly.  Today I am holding my first camera, the Kodak Instamatic X15 which is in 126 format.  This is the exact same camera that Dustin Hoffman used in Rain man!
