- Heavily dilute Xtol (1+3) doesn't seem to be magic for pushing, despite what Anchell and Troop say. I think I'll stick to 1+1. 19 hrs ago
- New iMac came yesterday. Copying data. Fun! 1 day ago
- Shooting: M6TTL, 50 Hex, Neopan 400. It's been a long time since I used any Neopan, but it caught my eye when I was reupping my chems. 3 days ago

Is this a younger Nixon? I wonder about your motive for taking the photo? Photographically, it is intriguing for the relative size of the framed picture within the photo frame: one thinks about the power the man had but here he is without his Halderman or Erlichman; what is the painter trying to portray?
This is one of his official presidential portraits, now hanging in the National Portrait Gallery in DC. I was just struck by how human he seems. He looks not unlike a kindly and somewhat bumbling university professor that’s been dressed up in a nicer suit than he is used to wearing.
You’re right - it is a portrait at odds with all we saw on TV/newsreel footage/photos.
