Self-portrait on transcription disk

29 Sep 2017 1 88
In December of 1987 I needed some photographs of a batch of transcription disks for illustration in publicity about this special collection of early-1960s humorous monologues on a local radio station. To get a couple of usable images, I took about fifty photographs (on Tri-X). One of the first was this, as I got the set-up set up properly. For later pictures, I closed the window curtains and turned off the overhead light. It was those lights that made such clear reflections, including the one of me leaned over peering into the camera. I must have leaned back quickly because you can also see the ceiling air vent behind me. This picture was *not* used in print. (I cropt it and made the noisy outer frame in PSP today, after scanning it.) This particular disk had a monologue called "Fallout Shelters" and it was aired 29 September 1961.
