Okay it's early Saturday morning and I'm half asleep over here on the left coast looking at this portrait (love the glasses! but hey, they're just another filter). I'm thinking ahead to one day when we have a next president, that anyone who wants the job as "President's photographer" should submit a selfie like this to be chosen for the gig....never mind a background check. Here's my choice right here! Just imagine state dinners, heated discussion around issues, most important quiet time reading up on the issues and this photographer here just clicking away in B&W 🙂

....just a morning rant before I fire up the Pavoni. I love this one, and certainly the one before it- and too many to list here on this great thread!

ha ha thanks David for the good laugh. I almost spit my coffee all over the key board.

Wonderful portrait!

I also like the smooth bokeh and the lack of distortion in this picture, what lens did you use?
