Thanks Guys, It's not a self portrait - that's my neighbor Robert showing the depth of his unique intelect, . . we were goofing on the idea of an authors book jacket portrait. The out takes (this is one) are hilarious! Bob is an retiered Navy hell raiser who indeed tells many great stories. Not only does Bobby help with light assistence on shoots, he's always game to sit in for a lighting test. Interestingly enough, as an ex-gunner, he's a killer dailing in a rim light He says he's "Dummy #2" because Dummy #1 (my manniquin) doesn't have pores. I am very lucky to have him as a neighbor, freind, assistant and "model". Here is a different light setup from the same test shoot - just up from the Scottish mine shaft

First; I think the portrait of Bob is great. One of the best I've seen posted.
Second: what the #%^$ is up with blocking an exit door???

I really need to get an image of my friends desk. He uses the keyboard on his lap because there is not any desk left to put it on.

Thank you for your words Jerry, . . I feel I need to put your mind at ease though, . . that is an entrance door

Actually, in the process of painting/remodeling the studio/editing suite so things are a tad transmogrfied at the moment - Good Eye Guy

LOL...you say entrance, I say exit...(my past has taught me to always have a way out...hehehe)

As for the portrait, I think it's definitely a wall hanger (think 20x24, 30x40)
