Cool shot! I can hardly believe this was taken with an 18mm! Amazing perspective control!

As Olaf already mentioned, it's hard to believe this was taken with an 18mm. There's just a few details that point in that direction (funny position of the lamp, long back of the head, the frames on the wall left & right don't match perspective, or the left one needs a bit of adjusting). Just goes to show that the "fixed ideas" of lens choice are limiting. Great freeing of your mind & a funny picture !

Great self-portrait of a self-portrait, excellently executed. I'd have to say this is one of my favourites. Is that lamp at that odd angle *just* due to distortion, or is it actually swaying (I like the idea of the latter, even if it isn't)? Regardless, it's an amusing and delightful shot.

Is that a Hasselblad at the other end of the table ?
