Timed Self-Portrait in the Canoe (1927)

Three men sitting in a canoe on a sandy beach, with one looking through binoculars and a camera trigger string visible. — Timed Self-Portrait in the Canoe (1927) · Donald A. Hall Estate Collection

A brilliant and silly 1927 string triggered self-portrait. Donald A. Hall Sr. and two companions pose in a canoe on the beach. One man looks through binoculars, and the string used to trigger the camera shutter is clearly visible stretching out of the frame.
