By way of explanation: My friend, Norm, asked for a portrait of his cat. He sent me some snapshots, which weren't very workable (Karin's warnings ringing through my head), so I asked if I could come over and take more pictures. After photographing the cat, and getting some good shots (the cat's a real ham), we sat for a glass of wine. The cat then jumped on Norm's lap and settled in. It was a great opportunity, so I picked up the camera and took several more shots.

Norm has a great face. I haven't begun to capture his warm expression. He's a soft-spoken Southern gentleman, and a yachtsman who lives next to the marina, so he can sail his classic yawl whenever he pleases. He's a portrait artist's dream. I'm really going to enjoy this one!
