fotografr Posted June 28, 2022 Share #6 Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) A remarkable portrait of a remarkable person. By every measure I'm aware of, he's had a rewarding and successful life. His eyes tell the story. Just one technical note: the special qualities of the Kodak CCD sensor in the M9 really show in this portrait.
