Well, it seems this photo of me is about everywhere else I post, so no harm if I put it here.

This week, though, I'm going to my favorite portrait genius, who doesn't shoot anymore, but agreed to get a "professional" shot of me with my accordion. I'm instructed by his sidekick, his wife, that I am to wear all black. She wasn't impressed with my red T-shirt.

I'm with you guys: I don't like being the model; it's supposed to be one of the advantages to being the photog. Right?

Anyway, this one was taken as a quick snapshot to go with a bio of me on an accordion list. I grabbed one of the ladies in our billing offices to take the photo with my Olympus. I guess it could be a lot worse.
