My friend Bill is
80 years old and still a very active painter. I was asked recently to photograph him
in anticipation of a reception honoring his 80 years, and one photo of them all stood out. |

So here's the
story: My wife, grown daughter and I were on the train from Budapest to Zagreb. Seated
across from us was this deliciously beautiful Russian girl, on the way I presume to the
clothing optional beaches of the Dalmatian Coast. She was wearing this lovely, slinky,
diaphanous black dress. Had I been alone, I would have asked without hesitation to
photograph her during the entire journey. As it was, she had pity on me and closed her
eyes long enough as we approached Zagreb that I surreptitiously snapped this portrait of
her. |

Walking through
the Town Square in Healdsburg, CA, in June 2003, a friend pointed out this comely young
mother and her child seated at the edge of the square's central fountain. On went
the telephoto lens, and this photo resulted. She later asked if I had been
photographing her, which I admitted and gave her my card, but thus far she's not inquired
further. |
