I'm not much for selfies, or self portraits or whatever you want to call it, but here's one that turned out quite well. If anyone is wondering, the instrument is an old Finnish traditional instrument called "Kantele".

In short I needed some new PR-photos for a show I'm doing this summer and had no time to get a photographer. So I waited until I had the light I wanted, got dressed and set up my camera and with my remote shutter in hand I managed to get some keepers. (This one being still rather un-edited).

I used my old Canon 35mm f/1.8 LTM from the 50's here. Wide open to get the separation and wow, this lens is almost too amazing. Soft, aquarell like color separation but still sharper in the details than it has any right to be. Almost too sharp, I should have bothered to shave...

I probably should have saved this one for #Fensterfreitag. So far, the summer of '24 has been difficult for photography. I took a new job in early June and just haven't had a lot of time. Most of the photos I've taken have been on the two block walk between the parking ramp where I park and my office, this is one of those.
