Comments:
This is another one my friend Jon gave me for my birthday, along with the one I posted yesterday. The fact that they match in size and format, and that they were purchased together, makes me suspect that they are somehow connected, but I really don’t know. In any case, this gentleman possesses a stately visage. It’s the sort of image I’d expect to see gracing a boardroom, or a postage stamp.

He seems very proud doesn’t he? There’s a hint of amusement as well. Almost as if the photographer made a joke directly before taking the picture.
Yes, it’s a wonderful expression.
