He attached his 35mm camera to a tripod and walked out into public space, looking for social situations to insert himself into and create a picture. Once he found a likely opportunity, he would set up the camera, release the self-timer and enter the frame. People, strangers to Mandel, would be jarred for a moment from their routine and their perceived public isolation. Suddenly, \"click,\" the machine made its own \"decisive moment.\" Mandel was busy being the subject and would have to wait for the darkroom to find out if he had made any pictures that day.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a revised edition of Mandel's photobook, originally self-published in 1972. It features a gatefold, sewn sections, an open spine book block and a Swiss-bound cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Mandel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eighteen Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.2lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 11.60w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780918290199","brand":"Eighteen Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48950012870793,"sku":"9780918290199","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_72fbe885-fe16-48c3-929f-fb276956c2f5.jpg?v=1794299763","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/mike-mandel-myself-timed-exposures-9780918290199","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
