Hi Paul ...
Were it not for john's post containing the URL, I'd have never seen this
snap. It is clear that you have a close bond with the ol' guy. Good

Thanks Shel,
What you're seeing may be related to using a flash, in that the
lighting is more even than if it was window light or even studio light.
The flash is bounced off the ceiling, so it's somewhat akin to open
sky light. Of course conven

So, Paul, since the lighting was primarily flash, what specifically caused

It's what happens when you're shooting with a nicely broad flash
beam from a bit of a distance (as in with a modest portrait or
tele lens): ... Even but very flat lighting, not much modeling
from shadows. The crisp, high definition edges and lack of
shadow modeling are what give it the surreal look
The lighting was virtually all flash. The ambient light was negligible. In this
case I didn't want to avoid this look, because it seemed to suit the subject.
