    The business man, all right!!! Being a retired band director I like the piano tie especially.

    Hackbone, you've been holding out - how'd I not know you were a musician too? thumb.gif

    Swartzy, looks great - very much the "business" portrait, which sounds like just what you need for the occasion. thumb.gif

    Sometimes, it is better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. Unknown

    It's an okay shot but I think you can do better, Dave. Try a little "chin forward and down" and I think you'll have a more flattering angle.

    Pete, you are absolutely right. I forgot about " pushing the photographer back" when posing. I sure wish you could have been there to direct me....self portraits are so very difficult. Thanks for bringing this to my attention..now I see it....duh. :)
