Shaving the Barber with a Scanograph Portrait

 

Hosta 'Hirao Majesty' 11 November 2021

A few who read here might know that this card-carrying member of the American Hosta Society is going to be in Minneapolis in June. I will be making a presentation on the beauty of scanned hosta flowers at their National Convention.

The folks at the Society are efficient folks. They have asked me for a bio (we are in November the convention is in June?). They have asked me for the title of the presentation and a short précis. The latest is that they want a head and shoulders portrait of yours truly.

This is a difficult request. Who shaves the barber? Who takes head and shoulder portraits of photographers?

The American Hosta Society is quite adventurous. It is my hope they will run my scanograph portrait with one of my fave hostas, Hosta ‘Hirao Majesty’.

I wonder if they will go for it.

As for who shaves the barber should I have shaved for this?
