I don't even remember what I used to shoot this with. My Nikon FM2, or an FM 10 maybe. It wasn't my Rolleiflex 'cuz it's off of a 35mm negative. Anyway, whichever one it was, it was an all-manual camera with a roll of real B&W film in it.
Ugly ain't I? Yeah, but I really do look like this. Been busy scaring small dogs and children since 1956.

You are very interesting looking. I'd love to shoot you. :p
Sadly, that picture isn't film. Most of my best are and I feel as though I cannot load them on a mag called JPG. Haha. I was just thinking about how amazing the true colour of film is, versus the correction I did on that digital one. -

Excellent image - cool self-port. Your comments are hysterical as well. Just saw a comment you made about a pic of a girl with a rude t-shirt about police, and you wrote, "Why wold she advertise her sex life like that." I laughed my ass off!
