Great capture, Julie. His expression matches the painting so well! The Hopetoun Hotel does look as though it played an important part in his life, but I didn't get the chance to ask him at the opening.
Joan, it was Jane Bennett's exhibition that I went to Tuesday of last week. I reported on it.
I must admit to stalking this gentleman all evening. I took lots of shots of other people too, but always knew where this bloke was out of the corner of my eye. He has a mesmerising face.
Outstanding capture Julie. The photo says so much and raises questions that cannot be answered, only surmised. A classic piece of work. Congratulations.
Everything about this portrait is just stunning. I was wondering,did your subject know he was being photographed,and did you ask permission to publish his photo on your blog? I was once asked to distroy a photo I had taken!!
I did not ask his permission. I had permission from the artist and the gallery to take photos at the exhibition. I did not specifically ask his permission, even though I did chat with him on two occasions. I neither asked his permission to take his image, nor to publish it to my blog.
I have been asked before not to take photographs, and I dont. I have beeen asked to delete images, which I have done.

What a great portrait Julie.
An amazing face. I love the black and white background too - it could be his memory.
Ah! Craggy is good Julie .... Lots of stories behind those lines .

Fantastic image Julie. Something's definitely on his mind.

I envy portrait photographers...a great shot Julie. So much expression and I really like his hands.
