Start Me Up

This actually is a lousy photo but it gets us started anyway.
I/we did a memorial 5K walk yesterday morning and it certainly got me started for the day.
The 704 Blue race is for a Olathe police officer who died of a heart attack on duty polishing his motor cycle to help escort presidential motorcade when President Obama came to town for something or other.

Cut it out will ya your just trying to butter me up and I see right through you and it’s not working. ;-}. I’m one of those people that doesn’t have a natural smile and it’s hard to force one and this photo is a well forced smile. Most likely I look different because I was exhausted, not from the 5K but from weeks of nonstop long days of hard physical work. Don’t mind me while I go and get some cheese to have with my case of whine!!! Paul

Much better than you think...hummm, I've seen other self portraits of you...but this is maybe truer, a more interesting and deeper view of the subject.

Portraits are especially difficult to achieve some abstract truth...and in this image, you don't look at all as I thought you did.

When I saw the picture, I didn't recognize you...as you...at all.

The eyes are really good and compassionate. There's a wry smile on your lips that...that says this person has seen a lot but maintains his humanity.

Need I say I really like this?

Well done, Sir.
