One Photograph: Channeling Vivian Maier

Ever since Vivian Maier’s amazing body of work was discovered in 2007, I’ve been a fan. I especially enjoy her whimsical selfies.

I began doing selfies as a way of identifying which camera I was using. I save the last few frames of each roll and shoot a mirror selfie. On occasion while out on a photo walk, I have come across a window where I can snap a good reflection of myself or a mirror in a shop. This is one of my favorites. I happened down an alley that had facing mirrors and took a selfie with my Pentax Spotmatic SP with a 55mm f/1.8 Takumar on expired Agfa APX 100 film.
