Day 5 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 Edmond Lok-Yin Wong  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 2014 Canon 5D Mark III camera with 70-200 f2.8 II lens.  In the photo, I am holding a 1970s Mamiya Universal + 50mm f6.3 lens with external viewfinder.  Being universal, I can put in a Polaroid or 6×7/6×9 medium format backs.
