Costa del Sol ... unsharp 'Moi'
My series 'Places and Faces'' today called:
**Unsharp self portrait**

Some TL friends asked me to show the man behind the camera in this series....
What a problem !
The only thing I could do to hide my ugly face and all the wrinkles
is an un-sharp photo' ;-)) .. so here we are... in a Restaurant in Torremolinos..
the basement... place for the little stops

While visiting the '' man's ' lavatory .. I did see trough glass in a separating door
the 'Ladies' had a mirror in there washroom and I pointed the camera ..
shot out of the loose hand .. The glass in between must have tricked the settings.

So before I delete the photo.. here we are.. the man behind this series..
hanging around at the 'Ladies' with a camera . (^_-)

Thanks for popping in Folks

Signed
John T

Wonderful self portrait, John. Well seen and nicely composed. Thanks.
Lawrence

Macho-Marlboro-look! Camera ready like a deerhuntergun.
Nice portrait John short beard is good; fresh and vivid.
Don't mind the focus; your composition compensates it.
Huub

Hi John. Mooie compositie vooral de plaats van John en de hoed met wit/zwarte rand zijn erg sterk.
Je kan zo de reclame in als de man met de camera. Veel plezier groet Frans

Well this makes the puzzle complete see work shop

Excelente retrato inhabitual:) Bravo!
José

Hey there John,

Or is that Crocman Dundi. LOL
Excellent shot and well done on the composition.

Mike

you do look like crocodile Dundi and the Malboro man John :P

cool shot, i like it :)

Ha, was net bij Huub en hier is mijn held nummer 2
Wat een lekker ding zie ik hier! (blond gegiechel)
Hele gave foto -Zjonnie- !
Sexy ook hoor dat onscherpe (zo , dus jij kan onder de wc deur gluren met je camera, hmmmm foei )
Lol Leuk deze foto en misschien gebruik ik hem wel
als screensaver (bewaking )

Well the places people take their cameras too. a lot of effort you went through to get this one. But it is actually quite nice. What a little blur does't do for the wrinkles. I'm just joking. It has a bit of a Crocodile Dundee effect. Must be the hat and that serious expression. Very nice!!!

Hoi John...ach wat geeft het een beetje onscherp...het gaat om het gevoel bij de plaatje...hahaha...een foto maken op de dames wc ;-) je hoeft het niet uit te leggen. Echte fotografen gaan ver voor de ultieme foto.

Congratulations.
Luci

There is a good style on that one! Adventure Hat is hekpofull for the picture? City is a dangerous jungle you know :o) Well done!

Neat photo,why hide the wrinkles! They are a part of you, not the best feature one can have but we all get there hahahaha you look great!
Christine.

Now who do we have here.... You look like a fair dinkum Aussie mate..(said with an Aussie accent !)... I have to admit im half Australian and half New Zealander!!!..

...and playing in the girls toilets too...oohh Johnny..you have been bad!!!..

Great to see your self portrait..looking good...

A fun shot....

cheers from New Zealand...
Dawn.

I totally agree with Koh : the first thing I thank about when I saw your pic was "This man looks like Crocodile Dundee", lol :)
Very nice self-portrait, John, even if you lost your smile before entering in the men lavatory... ;o)
Take care,
Martine

Hello, John! Nice to "see" you! You are being waaay too hard on yourself - you must have hidden your "ugly" face very well, because I don't see one anywhere in this shot! ;)

Too bad it's not sharp - it's a very nice pose, and shows your very interesting personality!

Fun!
Gayle :)

It looks like a painting to me. Somehow, a lack of smile doesn't fit the picture. In my mind, you seem to be the person who always wears a smile on your face. :)

Nevertheless, it is a good picture.

Katya

Excellent shot, love the hat, bravo!!

Well done and congrats!!

GT

Hello John,

My dutch Casanova is searching the ladies rooms now for some models ? Humm !

You are taking risks..... Be careful. Some ladies might not appreciate that...

Big smily ( you deserve one ), as yours is missing here. Perhaps, may be it was the stress the be at the wrong place.....

Smile !
Your friend !
Robert

Good self portrait John :) I see a hidden smile of the left of your face.. And you dont leave your camera even in the ladies room, thats dangerous..
Thanks..
Iris ;)

I thought I saw this man on TV. With the programm "Worlds Most wanted, reward 1 penny"!

No just kidding. Nice one.

Don

Hi John, Or again: Indiana Jones, Raiders of the lost Ark :)

Hehe, well done, my dear even if its blured :)

Take care, Yan
p.s. the photo in your intro is good as well :)

I think you are fishing for compliments my good friend John. Your portrait any way you see it, blurred or not is great! I real Dutch master!
Greetings,
Vassilis

I am laughing so loud. I can just imagine you in the ladies room. I commend your courage and for this wonderful sneaky shot. Please don't delete it. It must stay here so others may smile like me. I think I will give you a BIG tulip for this one John. Sorry my points have all gone.

What wrinkles!!!! Thanks for sharing your self-portrait, John! No ugly face here - not that I see anyway.

waouw, Hi John, nice to meet you better!!!!!
a little blur, but very very very very nice .....hat

Hi John

One for the self portrait theme. A slight resemblance to Crocodile Dundee? Tfs.

Now, who is this great looking, charming gentleman here?? A fantastic photo of yourself, John! And I see that now you have lots of atributes; - Indiana Jones, Marlboro Macho Guy, Don Juan, Crocodile Dandee...you are our new heroe!!!
fantastic, and I hope you'll never delete it!!

Johnnie Tulip, I can't believe you went into the ladies'loos with your camera! Looks like a bit of camera shake there too - but I can understand you feeling a bit shaken!! I bet the ladies were too...
And yes, I can see a bit of Croc Dundee there too - maybe you had better stop off in OZ on your way home. Don't go there first as the crocs might take you before you reach NZ.
Janice

Nice shot, I like it even the bad focussed it has makes it even better

Eventually I got to this one as well! Is it Indiana Jones or is it Crocodile Dundee? lol...
Excellent effort to expose yourself like this...

Groetnis, my vriend...
Van Suid Afrika...

It's beautiful, it's Cool and I love the hat!! Croc Dandi for sure!

Well done my friend!

Shelly:))

Hi Friend!
Very interesting portrait.
Good surprise.
All the best,
Mishe:)

Lovely self portrait. I see you did try and sharpen it. maybe you should have tried some pp to hide those wrinkles! ok, ok, I'm just kidding!
jaco

I was living in the Netherlands during three months in 2005.
Even now, I remember the Netherlands's smile of everyone gentle to.
I also liked an endless sky.

Jak z jakiegos plakatu filmowego ten autoportret :-), John.
Super pomysl i wykonanie. Extra ramki - bez nich nie byloby tak ladnie.
pomyslow Ci nie brakuje, a to inspiruje i o to chyba tutaj chodzi, by sie wciaz uczyc. Ostatnio podgladam wiele zdjec, a szczegolnie parametrow technicznych. Wciaz jakies nowosci i pomysly.
TFS.

bye Aga

delete this? hehhee, you have nit:))

cool pic, and...cute storry!
i like the unsharp look on mr John T, who became courageous in time:)
compo is fine,you look...serious in a very funny way:), like preparing a good joke.
