Jon's "Mug" Shot
Ok...This is Jon and he is camera shy as many of you know. He's only shy around a camera, otherwise he is loud and boisterous and very outgoing. He tortures me all the time by not cooperating for portraits, posed or otherwise. He has developed a very keen Camera Radar and it's nearly impossible to catch him off-guard. Hence this shot. I think this would have been a nice candid portrait. It had it all, subtle lighting a nice setting a relaxed and happy mood, but...as you can see his Camera Radar was set to high that day and he caught me. So instead of throwing it out I warned him that I was going to use whatever I got and that would be that. So for the record this is Jon on Thanksgiving. Isn't he handsome?

what a lovely shot ... I was smiling as I was reading the commentary ... I think his attitude adds a lot to the image. Excellent!!!
He did an excellent job of blocking the shot!
Handsome indeed. I have two sons,(now grown) and I don't think I know that male species yet.
I actually like this picture anyway. Its real.
Even without a view of his face, this is a nice picture showing a comfortable, real setting.
I usually can't get any of my three kids to cooperate when it comes to taking their pictures. I have countless pictures of their hands in front of their face or their coat over their head or a really silly face.
Sometimes I am sly though. Keep trying and you might find a day when his radar is down.
haha nice shot laurie...
Very nice portrait.
Great shot.
LOL! That's funny. You need to get some better 'sneakers' so fly in low under the camera radar. It is a nice candid shot, even though you can't see his face.
Keep trying haha. Nice portrait.
Wonderful, it looks like he's worked out the perfect position for that mug and hand ;)
A lovely shot nonetheless!
