Self Portrait, Newport Beach


I thought,..."You look magnificent! I better get a picture of you!"

It was overcast and windy in Newport Beach that day and I was wandering along with a beautiful Contax IIIa that belongs to my friend Jim. (Jim has a wonderful collection of film cameras--which he collects yet does not shoot--and, well aware of my interest, and being the most generous of fellows, has taken it upon himself to acquaint me with each and every one.)

On this day I was shooting Fuji Pro 400 film. I do not recall the exposure settings but such is the pristine condition of Jim's old Contax that the old selenium meter in it still functions perfectly. The meter reading dictated the exposure for this shot.
