a photographer. Even an author
who is reputedly poor Judge OF MS

photograph. Every famous man or

peatedly has his favorite picture
Usually 1t is the worst In the coilec
ton. II shows him with an unnatural
expression sitting or standing In an
unnatural attitude.
THE inability to judge Of his best
picture must be due TO the average
mans ignorance as to how he really
looks. or perhaps 1t can be partly at
tributed to a desire to look other than
he does. A stout man will swear that
the photograph most nearly ike MN
