Every face tells a story. Some people have a noble and majestic face, some have a lived face, some have a mystery behind their face. I have always wanted people who would pose for me so that I can ‘play’ with the light to highlight certain features. Mostly people are shy…… Only managed a few, and often without control of the lighting.
Joe McAskill once posed for me – it was easier to ask when he owed me a favour for cutting his hair!. I’m glad he did. His is one of those I regard as a ‘noble’ face (thanks to my handiwork with his hairstyle? !!)
Born in the Hebrides, Scotland, and lived is last years in New Zealand. Many a stories he could tell. He was a lad when the shipwreck captured in the film “Whiskey Galore” happened at his very home. May he rest in peace.
