He was in the Corner at Epoch

Lauren and I both did portraits of the guy next to us.

My friend Lauren Hamilton Levy and I set out for Epoch yesterday, and we got lucky – we found a pretty good table. The guy next to us, in the corner, was hunkered down for a long spell. He was very thin and East Coast in appearance. (We never wear NorthFace apparel in the summer). He was writing; I assume that the book to his right was some sort of reference work. I didn’t want to get caught staring, but I thought that I made the first word of the title out to read, “Shagura”. I was going to look up the full title when I got home. Well, I am stumped as to what he was reading. Anyone out there know?

    I love this portrait. You have ‘got’ him so well. The focus on his face with the warm colours takes you straight there.
    Cheers,
    Erin
