Then there's this picture.

I must say I rather like this one.  It's the one I sent to the folks who are going to put the double eagle whammy on me in August.  Please administer 2oz Maker's Mark, stat., to those who faint dead away upon seeing me dressed in anything other than jeans and a polo or aloha shirt.  No, Jeff Naylor, I cannot afford a bespoke suit; I must make do with what comes off the rack with a few tailoring alterations.  So there.

And I'm sorry about the glare.  Not much I can do about it.

Taken by the photo department at JCPenney's, if you believe it.  The girl was good.  She was probably annoyed by my stage direction but if so she never said so.  Photographers hate being behind the lens and I am not immune to that feeling even though I probably don't uncap a lens more than once or twice a year anymore...

Not bad! Still, if the JC Penney photog was a little more on the ball, she would have had you rotate your head just a bit more to get the image through your glasses lens to line up with your profile and avoid the "divot" that refraction creates.

My dad & two of three uncles were professional portrait photographers, and that trick was pounded into my head at an early age!
