A single exposure in which I appear twice. A mixture of ambient light with the shutter held open manually for a second or two, with two flashes.

You can see the ticks of the second hand on the BBC1 clock. This and the one above taken in 1979.

This is much more recent; I'm holding a digital camera and looking at the LCD screen. They never needed security mirrors on buses when they had conductors.

Another early shot. This time the reflective bulb is on the back lawn. The camera, tripod and I are all visible. Dig the flares, man.

I must have set the camera for a longish exposure, on self-timer. Taken in Livingston.

How's that for a casual, nonchalant pose in my back garden in 1977. How time flies...

This is the entire frame of Self Meer 2 on page 1. It's a bit cluttered but the geometry must have appealed to me.

'Meer' reflects Bob Dylan's pronunciation of 'mirror'. The mirror balls reflect each other as well as the LED fan which displays my website URL.

An early self portrait when I was festooned with freckles and much younger (and less wrinkly).
