Selfie



Look at this antique film camera I bought. It is older than my great-great-grandfather. It has a mechanical shutter, manual focus lens, and you have to advance to the next frame by pulling a lever. I have been reading up on how to manually set the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. No computer chip to do all those calculations for you. By the way, you can’t Photoshop these pictures. You need to get the lighting and composition right the first time around. This is the true but lost “art of photography.” I discovered it has a self-timer and decided to get this selfie.


Pressing the shutter release button (nothing happens)


I seem to be experiencing some technical difficulties


Oops! This was my first attempt at a selfie.


I need to adjust the focus on the lens


Lets try this again. Time to set the timer.


“Smile for the selfie!”
