Given that you said you’re surprised, I’m guessing someone whose usual style is very, very different from this (and who I’ve only seen pictured as an older man): Ansel Adams.

Maybe it’s Edward Weston. I have a 100% guess the subject rate today, this could change….

isn’t he Stieglitz?

I think that may be the old master Disfarmer.

Chas Bowie 7-15-2008

That would be Mr. Edward Steichen, 1898. Please let me know where to claim my cash prize.

Rachel Hulin 7-15-2008

Steichen is correct! Mr. Bowie wins our endless respect and adoration!

This is a beautiful self-portrait. Check out more self-portraits, one of which is also from Steichen (#18): http://selfportraitgallery.blogspot.com/
