It's amazing how incredibly powerful a simple photograph can be. Especially self portraits. They play a huge role in the history of art. Along with protraits of others I'm planning to produce several to go along with this series. Thanks much for your kind comments.

That photograph may not speak to anyone else who views it but it had a profound effect on me. Let me tell you what I saw. I saw a man glimpsing into the future without being sure of how much of a future he has. I saw a man at peace with himself yet still yearning for more. His eyes are locked onto something no one else can see and we, the voyeurs, are unable to determine if what he is gazing at brings him peace. Maybe even he doesn't know. It may not have been your intention to expose so much of yourself with one simple photograph but you certainly touched my heart. I have said this before but it bears repeating. I believe you to be one of the most courageous and noble men I have ever known. You are, as my father used to say, "good people" and damn it, we need more of those kind, today more than ever. I will conclude by saying something else I have said here many times before. I couldn't love you more if you were my brother. Peace and Love You and I joke a lot here but this time I am going to be serious. That photograph may not speak to anyone else who views it but it had a profound effect on me.
