Day 6 Self Portrait Challenge

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 Pouya Ashtiani 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.

Today, I am viewing through my Hasselbladski.  A company called ARAX used to take Kiev 88 and modify them to Pentacon Six mounts.  The selection of Pentacon Six Zeiss lens are vast and quite cheap.  Seen through here is a Zeiss Jena 120mm f2.8 lens.  The viewfinder is super bright and the split screen makes focusing a breeze.   Today I am holding a medium format stereo camera called Sputnik.
