Time for a new Selfie : Vintage Jupiter 9 lens (85mm)

Time for a new selfie, shot with a 50 year old vintage Jupiter 9 lens, with the aperture fairly wide open.

The vintage sixty something Phil a few years older than the lens.

I always look better in mono.

"Hello to all my 365 friends" :)

Hi 60-something from a 60-rather-a-lot! :-D
Btw, I follow these people's FB page : https://oldspitalfieldsmarket.com/events/colour-walk
and think of you each time I see a post from them. You and your camera would have a field day there. Reckon you'd soon get through Strangers project no.4 if it was easy for you to get to. :-D ;-)

looking fabulous Phil! lots of things look better in mono - I know I do too hahahaha
