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 Frederic Chiu 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 1968 Polaroid Land 250 camera.   The model 250 has a Zeiss-ikon viewfinder made from West Germany.  As seen in the photo, the rangefinder is bright and quite easy to focus.  The camera that I am holding is a 1972 Polaroid Land 450 camera.  It’s basically identical to that of the model 250 except for a timer at the back and the flash adapter.
