Flashback to the early-2000s. Portrait of #AleksBalos, captured in-studio, on an 8x10 camera!
Aleks is a remarkably talented painter who I went to college with. After we graduated, we stayed friends, and I made many photos for him to use as reference material for...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksan...

...his paintings (and you can see me, a few of my brothers, my dad, and my grandfather in some of his paintings).
In the attached painting, I am the center figure in white/beige, and the figure in blue on the far right! :)
