Re: PESO -- Holding Court.
Yeah, you are of course referring to the famous Karsh photo. Great story (and portrait!) for those of you who don't know it: http://iconicphotos.wordpress.com/2009/07/31/winston-churchill-by-yousef-karsh/ Karsh was a cool guy. This photo vaulted him to international prominence as he photographed many political and entertainment elites. However during his entire career he maintained his storefront portrait studio in Ottawa and his prices for walk-ins were most reasonable; the same as any other run-of-the-mill studio in fact.

Re: PESO -- Holding Court.
Striking portrait. The kind that makes the viewer curious about the subject and their story. Obvious Churchill reference but I believe the story was that the best Winston picture was taken by a photographer after he ripped the cigar from Churchill's mouth. Probably not needed here.
