    I thought it was Hemingway for a second. Nice shot.

    I would like to order a signed print of this image from you. Seriously. How much? Write me and let me know. James, this is among the finest images I have ever seen. You have an amazing eye for fitting it all in - the dummy - your silent witness (and don't we ALL have one or two of those???) and then, the figures, somehow unaware they are watched and recorded by this stalwart examiner with the serene and somewhat melancholy countenance. I love his 1950's coiffure, as well. This photo has it all, and I thank you for the joy it brings.

    Likewise, would I not be remiss mentioning how superbly you fit the word "ubiquitous" into this. English command fades slowly here in America, and I hate to see it go......
