I took a portrait of Wally today for the "Blurb Book" that will be the final project for the class I am taking with Roddy, the photography professor at the University of Denver. Wally give me his best "bulldog" look, imitating his hero, Winston Churchill. While I was taking his photograph, Wally told me the details of Churchill's most famous portrait. Karsh, the photographer, could not get the image he wanted. Then, suddenly, he pulled the cigar right out of Churchill's mouth, went back to his camera, and took the most famous portrait ever made of Churchill, getting the exact expression he wanted. That is one great example of thinking outside of the box.
