SEPTEMBER 1, CDP THEME DAY: PHOTOGRAPHING THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Once Upon a Time . . .

Forty years ago when I was 27, I took pictures with my 35 mm Nikomat. 

Selfies per se were yet to be popularized with the advent of digital and mobile phone photography, 

so this was taken by my then husband. 

I had it framed, and it still hangs in my home today.

SELFIE SATURDAY

Learnin' the Ropes of a New-to-Me Mac

Take two steps forward, then one step back . . . frustration, tears, re-composure . . . success. I think I'm gonna like this.

JANUARY 2016 CDP THEME DAY--My Photo of the Year

Camera Shy Selfie in a Bubble

Edited version: cropped, color enhanced, focal B&W

Original version with iPhone 5.

This was the first photo I posted on City Daily Photo for the April 1, 2015 Theme Day. It was a favorite photo then and still is. When I took it, I was fascinated by the colored bubbles and got as close as I could to take the shot before the bubbles popped. But it was only after I saw it on a bigger screen that I saw within each bubble was a tiny selfie.

CAMERA-SHY REDUX

Okay, I know I am only supposed to post one photo per CDP theme-day challenge as I've been well schooled on the rules, but since this photo may have gotten lost in the 'blog or no blog' brouhaha of yesterday, I wanted to make sure it appeared on my new and improved "official" City Daily Photo blog. It is what I like to call one of those happy accidents when you take a picture of something for one reason (the brightly colored bubbles) and find out later it really is more than you bargained for. (HINT: That's me in every single bubble!) Talk about the ultimate selfie. . .and indeed very camera-shy!
