Wolfgang Pensive

As someone who makes lots of photos, and quite a lot of them of people, there’s one thing I hate more than anything. I make a photo of someone. I look at the photo and think, “hey, I did that pretty good. I really captured that person and this is a good photo.” Then the subject looks at the photo. “I look so fat! Can’t you do something about those wrinkles? Or better yet, just delete the photo please!”

Wolfgang invited me to a very tasty dinner. Afterwards, I told him I’ve got a new camera, I want to get Polaroidiary rolling again after a long pause, and for a while at least I only want to make portraits. I made this one, and Wolfgang made me very happy simply by being extremely pleased with this portrait.
