A nice picture but not an environmental portrait. My comment refers to the one with the cat. Cheers, OtL

Thank you! The shot with the cat was taken in 1974 in the waiting room at track 4 of the Amstel Station in Amsterdam, the railway station that was opened in december 1939 when the war had already begun. Nowadays the Amstel Station has its original colors back - as they were in 1939 - but in 1974 it had still its original atmosphere that is gone now.

Thanks, Erik. Your explanations don't make it an 'environmental portrait' though. Cheers, OtL

I really don't know what an "environmental portrait" is. I've never heard of such a portrait.
