Whenever I learn a new photographic technique, I have to try it out on a willing and patient model. Usually that's me, initially, followed by my husband and my friends and family! Over the summer of 2007, I practiced this vintage technique A LOT, moving up from shoes and other still-lifes to a very funny and complicated afternoon of self-portraits! 
If you think pushing the button and running back and forth from behind the camera to in front of the camera is difficult - try it with a 1940's vintage Argus built into a homemade "contraption"!
But, I learned I could create both sharp and beautifully soft edges in my vintage images. The artist in me was awakened and there was no going back!
