Hey Neal, modern cameras have a button, if you push it, an automatic flashlight zooms out and lightens the scene. And every picture software has a knob somewhere where you can increase brightness and contrast

I demonstrate.

Before:

Darth Vader in white gala uniform is congratulated by Grand Moff Tarkin

After:

Captain Litherland in white dinner jacket is congratulated by secret Fleet Admiral of the Navy, Neal Stevens (travelling incognito).

Tell me when you have enough of it these bright comments, Neal, and I will darken the picture again ASAP - until then, you have to suffer.

It's not that loud for a shirt.

Now for something different, after we analysed his shirt. The expression on his face worries me. He looks intimidated, somehow, or worried. Lost, and lonely. Melancholic, maybe. And somehow out of advise. Was Captain Litherland such a dominant person? Or is it that you never have been photographed before? Were you wndering what that thing is in the hand of the photographer, and if it could hurt you?

Neal, if you have some secret burden to share, or something heavy on your mind, if you need our help, just tell us. We really could talk it over. Endlessly. Promised!

Now I got it - you remind me of our Klinsmann! Eh, your Klinsmann, I mean. Eh, Texas... :hmm: California... :hmm: their Klinsmann, I mean!

It looks like Neal's thinking..."Now how do I charm this guy to get a tour of that sub?"

For a psychoanalyst, those long, phallic symbols on that shirt look like being worth to spend some thought on. And the water, that classical symbol for the unconsciousness, symbolized by the boats that dwell in the middle of nothing - mysterious shirt-selection. I am really concerned now... I wonder what his wife says to that shirt (assuming that his wife still talks to him). You two are still talling, yes...? I am REALLY concerned now...

And I wonder what he is hiding under his cap!

Actually, that is scheduled for Sept 5. My pensive expression is because I am thinking of you guys, and how I wished you could join me.
