Self Portrait In Books

[Rob MacKillop]

Sums me up: Oor Wullie to James Joyce, Spike Milligan to Oliver Sacks, Oscar Wilde to The Dice Man, with a dash of Gunter Grass.

It was a day of self reflection:




Canon AE1-P, XP2 and an Orange filter, ASA at 200.

That's how to take a photograph! Not with your arms out in front, as you squint at a screen.

I like the way the books are framed and also the way you have kept yourself veiled. After all a man of genius makes no mistakes and always knows where his bucket is!

Ah, I see. I thought that was a net curtain. It's your hair in the frame!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Haha. Yes, I'm actually sitting on my bucket in the second shot.

The second shot looks like it could have been taken by someone inside the house, as I was photographing them...

PS Is it too early to wear a snowflake Christmas jumper?

That's exactly what I though when I first saw it... he's sitting on a bucket!

Never!

At first I thought he did not get it right, since he uses Merlin like that, but as it is a "cannon" of yesteryears, he appears to be more in style!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I'm enjoying the Canon. Something about it is just right for me.

I can truly figure so.
