Self portraits

[KerryPierce]

To solidify my identity.

Taken last April, while playing with my "new" d70.





Taken almost 2 years ago, July or August, 2003.

You might want to screen the women and children from this shot. It's pretty scary....

I no longer have "most" of the facial fur....

So Kerry, I take it your not a girl

Kerry,

That second shot reminds me of some images I made in the early 80's, I guess. Probably mid - late 70's, truth be told.

Shot some night images of the Sydney Opera House from Mrs MacQuarie's Chair (Harbour Bridge behind and to the right of the SOH) on AP100.

Enlarged the negs onto 10x8 lith film, and then contact printed those positives back onto more lith film, with a fine dot mask between the interneg (pos) and the unexposed film.

Finally contact printed from the final neg onto standard paper. Looked really cool. Or at least I thought so.

Kerry, I'll post this Reply from your other post here so everybody can have a good Chuckle at my expense.

Oh well

After fainting, I have now picked myself up off the ground

Yes, I have to admit I always thought Kerry was female which is funny coming from me as I have pretended being a female.

I'm sorry Kerry, I don't know why I have always thought such a thing as there is absolutly nothing wrong with being a man

I'm sure Marcus & everybody will have a big belly laugh at this little mis interpretation.

Great shots by the way MATE

Regards,

A very silly feeling man in OZ.

Only when I'm in drag, which didn't go off real well when I had the full beard. Now, I can usually explain away the mustache.....

This is really easy to do with PSP. Dunno if PS will do the same, but I assume that it will. I really like the effect on some photos, such as the one above. It makes me look almost human, compared to the original.

But, you've prolly heard the old saying, Ugliness is next to Godliness, or something like that.

Kerry - the second shot reminds me of so many friends from my days of searching for gold in the late seventies

heh, it was good for a laugh. But, it's not at all unusual. A lot of folks have assumed the same thing. NBD.

And, thanks for the compliment, MATE.

Well, there's something I've not done. All of my "prospecting", in the 70s, was done in bars and beaches.......

I'm not too keen on the first shot, but the second one is quite excellent.

I think what the others might be referring to is the Kodalith graphics arts film that some of us played around with in the early 70's. In fact I think I still have some 8x10 sheets of it and the dry chemicals for processing it.

The second shot reminds me of one of my uni lecturers except he didn't have much hair at the top.

How's it been stored Steve? In a fridge, I hope?

Yes, that was it; great fun for doing some interesting things with.

That, and solarisation, of course.

Would you care to elaborate on the dried chemical subsatnces you're referring to?

Oh, I see. You mean the Kodalith developer.

The first one is an abstract, meant to emphasize my shadow.

The second is what I thought Gary was talking about in his post. I didn't do any of that stuff with film. I used Tri-X and pushed it, double and triple exposures and played around with infrared, both color and B&W.
