This may be one of my favourite portraits that I’ve ever taken. I have another shot that I’ll be putting on-line shortly where the foreground cocktail is the thing in focus, which I think works very nearly as well, but is a completely different sort of shot, in as much as I think that with this shot I’ve managed a portrait for once in my life that captures something flattering about the subject. OK, you couldn’t identify them if you didn’t know them, and possibly not even then, but fuck it, you can’t have everything.
