This is me.  Taken a few years ago during a wonderful stay in Cornwall, at the home of my friend Slugg, who is an artist (who took the photo), and his sadly departed partner Philip.  The trick to this type of portrait is apparently to get the subject to close their eyes, and take the photograph just as they are opening them again.  At least that is what Slugg did.

One of the differences between this blog and my previous blogging outings is that I can mix work interests and others, and share photographs like this.
