Cousin Bob
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009
Santa Monica, California. My mother has two first cousins in Los Angeles who she sees pretty often and Bob Fleer is one of them. His mother was my mother’s father’s sister.
Bob has a PhD in psychology, is brilliant, a Mac head, a photogarpher, an iPhone addict, a serious ping pong player, a serious tango dancer, a serious ukelele player, and more. In other words, he’s a polymath.
When he and I get together we talk for hours about all sorts of things, usually with multiple topics in play at once, the threads interwoven. I love that I have a relative like this and I only wish we got together more often.
Richard, an excellent portrait, you sure caught Bob with an interesting expression on his face, with those eyes. His hand adds to this nicely as well.
Thanks Gary, as noted by Bernard on flickr, Bob has a mischievous side to him and there’s a hint of that here. I think I got him pretty good; this is really who he is. Note the ISO: 1600. That old 5D still rocks, just like us old dudes who use them.
man, you better hang on for a long ride–you sure have longevity in your family, and no rockin’ chair time , either. !!
Sheryl: On this side anyway and so far it looks like I have quite a few of my mother’s genes. I’ll be blogging from the grave!
