It wouldn't bother me a bit that part of his mouth is hidden.

It is really an unexpected composition
Chris, Sharon,

Checking in from South Texas, I feel the same way about the mouth and the pose. Even if you hate the idea you might linger over it to curse me. Love me, hate me, just don't keep walking by.

Ironically, it was my purpose to pose Nova in a blue dress shirt with a yellow bow tie. I don't have one single shot of him in that condition. The one behind the chair is with the yellow bow tie.

You really have to be flexible with these wild eyed youngins. He was particularly fascinated by my staircase and would rather have been running up and down. When his mother was chasing the little one in the other room I told him that if he didn't be still for five minutes I was going to rip his heart out and feed it to the dog. He then went from showing me his missing teeth to the more serious look.

Patricia,

I'm flattered that you like my photo. It's probably not a good precedent to give it up in that way. I would much rather help you to get your own great reference shot.
