Submarine because they fit under an EAB (emergency air breathing) apparatus without breaking the air seal.

I think the National Portrait Gallery has a web site:

Apparently there is a gallery with same name owned by Smithsonian in US.

Here is a link to Irving Penn and an example of a head-chop technique:

Thanks for the comment.

It looks like a used a bounce flash up into the ceiling as the shadow is down and the eyeglass flare is not as bright as one would expect from a frontal flash shot.

Yes that is a long time ago. I think that is a Navy beard, as beards were still allowed at that time. Thos are submarine glasses too.

Irving Penn Warren is the person I gleaned the top of head cut technique. His work is featured at the National Portrait Museum in London on the first floor in a side room. There he depicts several famous people one of which I am thinking is Alfred Hitchcock and perhaps Trumann Capote, if memory servers.

On you next visit to London (if you have already been there??) I would highly recommend this museum. Quite the photographic portrait exhibit with such artists as above and other notable photographers.

Kind words. He won't give up. Not his nature.

thanks!

miles per week. Then he misjudged a curb height in a barrier-free

ramp at a neighboring restaurant and fell, broke his hip, and had it

replaced.

in a fall from a handicap ramp's curve at a local restaurant. The

irony of a ramp for a barrier free entrance causing a man to become

handicapped. He stepped into thin air walking diagnally across it

towards his car. The ever changing curb height caused this 78-year

old to misjudge his step. His body thought he was at ground level

but he was really an inch or so off the ground.

In Michigan, the courts protect the landowner from a suit by

the "open and obvious" doctrine, which creates a high legal

threshold a judge will use to prevent this from ever reaching a

jury. Thus, unless such matters are unblocked from suit by such

doctrines, other senior citizens with diminishing depth and spatial

perception will be destined to the same fate.

It appears that some barrier free zones are hazards and will remain

that way as long as the courts make challenges unsavory to jurists

who shy away from contigency when they see no hope of getting past

summary dispositions.

In the meantime, thousand of dollars in hospital bills accrue and

the restaurant where this happened never called nor did they offer

monetary assistance.

Thanks for the comment.

Table on left holds the cake. Couldn't get man's face on far right without and I sort of like the story told by the person taking the picture on left.

Will try in b&w, but flag in color adds imo.

Thanks!

Let me know if you get through all of them. ;-)
