Many a avatar is modeld after it.

Thanks
 
Thanks!
I was looking through "The Photo Book" for it and failed to get lucky.
Who taught that guy to hold a camera that way?

That's pretty sweet lighting, Steve. :)
 
Thats great Steve....but don't change your avator over it. I love your avator. Every time I see it it gives off a warmth that touches my heart. Magical to say the least. Hope I don't sound like a weirdo...but isn't that what a good photograph is susposed to do?:)

Wow...thanks. Now I feel bad 'cause I just changed it and I can't find that other file.
Glad you like it though.

FWIW, I have Dennis Stock's book "Made in USA". I really like some of his work. Worth a look if you ever happen to come across it.
