Wow, what can I say? Bloody good self portrait! Apart from the hair and the cigarette, you haven't changed a lot...

I like the grain in this image. How do you scan your vintage pix?

Cheers
Steffen.

What a great portrait! I find it quite compelling - wondering what the story behind it is and what was going on in the background.

Steffen - scanned with a Minolta Dimage. A fair bit of fiddling with saturation and conversion to B&W. NIK filter applied (pro contrast).

Marvin - Photo taken circa 1974 when I was living in Rose Bay, Sydney. Taken on the balcony and the event was a make-up party for guys - and yes, my wife and other women were present :lol:

Chris,

Great image ...

Nothing else to be said

Chris, that's a fantastic image. You might not think so, but you have a lot of character and are very photogenic. There's not just a story behind that portrait, but perhaps an entire book.
