Born With Charisma
Unlike my habitual portrait subjects — most of whom are strangers or brief acquaintances — I know a lot about this fellow. In fact I helped raise him up from a tiny critter with a tadpole look and a cone-shaped head. I caught him as he slithered out from his mother’s body, and looked into his eyes the first time they opened. I noticed the personal magic and magnetism right away, then watched it develop over years as the keyboard man and performing artist, the information analyst, husband and father slowly emerged.
