I have a gut feeling?

She used her Rollie on a tripod, LOOKED ON GROUND GLASS, COMPOSED? Set
shutter etc. what she wanted, knew exactly where she needed to stand and
look. Then someone else tripped the Rollie
shutter.????????????MAYBE?????????????

OR?  She using a long cable release, cable inside her jacket out to camera
and she just looked kinda serious? "CLICK!"

Then whomever said she took a self portrait??????????????? OR? SOMEBODY ELSE
USED HER ROLLIE...... "CLICK!"

An interesting "babblefest fun one!" :-) Beats the heck out of the "ALL
TECHIE BRAIN DAMAGING ONES!!" ;-)


cheers,
Dr. ted :-)

I agree that that it's probably the Rollei with a self timer.
