I’m not sure it’s really camera shyness on his part but more like, “Why would anyone want a picture of me?” He’s got no clue what an expressive face he has. Perhaps being on next years calendar will convince him otherwise.

Well done Earl! this is a fantastic portrait.
Hi Ray, thank you!
This one is superb Earl. You’ve captured an expression, and an intimacy, that goes far beyond an everyday run-of-the-mill portrait. Great piece of work.
Pj, I believe the expression reflected his inner pleasure of my wanting to make his photo — I happened to be ready as that flashed across his face. Thanks!
Another fine portrait for the calendar. I like that smile, it is a happy one.
Monte, thanks, this particular gentleman always seems to be in a happy peaceful mood.
This is a great shot! Love the framing, the slight sidelight, and the wonderful detail.
I’d love to say it was all planned to the last detail, but some of it fell to luck. However, I did plan the side lighting from the open walk in freezer door.
Very lovely smile of this old man . Pretty portrait !
Mariana, thank-you.
It is a prize capture of an exceptional expressive face. You’re right… he has no idea how photogenic he actually is. Fine image for a calendar.
Don, thanks and I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
I think you have captured part of his personality here Earl – a feat in itself.
Mark, thank you and I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
