He's a legendary criminal attorney and was, once-upon-a-time a District Attorney and then Chaired the Pennsylvania Crime Commission responsible for the labor/mob convictions of the middle of the last century. He was the minority counsel chairman for the joint Congressional Committee investigating the Kennedy assassination. He's also a good friend. Which, of all of that stuff, is the most important to me.

Again i took the picture in natural light with my Canon G10. 1600 ISO makes some noise. BUT... once again, after asymmetrically cropping for the square I'd composed for... I knew that I was going to process the image first with Bokeh to control the enormous depth of field of the G10. Then I reworked the lighting to create the right setting for the Edward Hopper palette. And lastly I pulled in an impasto tool from Snap Art intensely reworking the dynamic range in Photoshop.
It is all about mood.

Nice work as always....
Ted, I think this is one of your very best creations. have you shown this to Al? I'm sure he'd love it.
You know, you could have a new career - as a painterly photographic portrait artist!

My eyes are drawn to his hands. I can just imagine him using his hands in an expressive way to make a point while in court. As usual, Ted, your portraits tell a story.
Great work Ted!
I've been away from your blog for most of a couple of months and I really enjoyed getting caught up on everything today! You have a few new tools in your kit since I was here last and you are really making the most of them! Your portriat work with the new tools is nothing short of amazing!
Well done!

This works wonderfully.It's a form of impressionism you seem to be practicing and this image sings.
