Artist's Comments
when i asked for the photo he was a bit hesitant and replied he was feeling a bit rough and mumbled something about his whiskers making him look old.
i told him we'd shoot it in B&W and that may ease his concerns about looking older. well the B&W looked older and this one showed the good colour of his face so we both agreed this was the way to go. His Name is Doug and he's a good man. |

We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

-i cannot protect you without holding a sword, i cannot embrace you while holding a sword...
-that is not dead which can eternal lie. and with strange aeons even death may die...
I like this shot. I like how he seems suprised to be having his picture taken, but composed so well
I think that you did a good job not focusing on his eyes.. Others may not think so.

Horribly intrusive watermarks are tacky. If you're concerned about people stealing your photos, don't post them on the internet.
Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)
he sat unblinking, i believe it is likely because of photography in the older days... you told to be still and not to move. : )
tks fox
he gave me plenty of time and was a very agreeable subject.

however there was this older (like 70) lady in this beautiful red hat and i spent a fair amount of time chatting to her but when i slipped in the question about a photo she turned me down flat.
i guess i kind of fidget with the camera as i talk... : )
I think it's something about older women. One turned me down, too. And my grandmother hates having her picture taken. I think they become very self-conscious as they age (or rather, about their age).
