Emporia Self-Portraits

April 19th, 2008 at 1:19 pm

Today during the Artists Walk, Dave is letting folks take their own photographs. He’s inside the Kress Building in front of Amanda’s Bakery & Cafe.

This is way cool. Not all of the black-and-white photos are posted yet, but check out the slide show: Self-Portraits.

Melissa Windsor, Director of the Emporia Arts Council, checks the monitor and prepares for a series of self-portraits.

The person posing was given a mouse to click when they wanted the camera to take the photo. They looked in the monitor to see themselves and clicked at will.

    I thought it was a snappy idea, Dave.

    This is fantastic. I love it. I wanted to make it today, but our company didn’t leave until 4. Ah well, next year.

    Great Idea Dave Love the B/W. I have always felt B/W tells much better story than color. You take a nice pic Cheryl

    Those little kids were so beautiful. I asked the oldest girl if her daddy had a shot gun to scare off the boys and she looked at me like I was crazy. Not to far from wrong kid! The little ones had so much life and the they all had such good manners.

    That’s an awesome idea. It’s not easy to take self photographs without a good set up or the obvious arm holding the camera in the shot.

    GREAT JOB DAVE!
