Comments:
The other day when I posted another photo by this same photographer, I pulled out all the photos by him and left them on my desk. I’ll admit I was feeling lazy today and just pulled another one for this post. But I like it. It’s a handsome face worth looking at (though I suppose I feel all faces are worth looking at), and it’s one of those faces that has, to me, a disconcertingly modern feel. Perhaps it’s the haircut? This style of shot, from the mid-torso up, fading out at the edges with a nondescript background, is actually more typical of the Borewitz photos in my collection than the full-length shot with the detailed setting of the other day.

All faces are worth looking at? I’ve seen a few exceptions, mostly in politics. But this guy’s worth a gander.
LOL, well I hardly meant that all people are attractive, just that all are interesting on some level. But I’m sure you knew that. 😉
