Donal! Where the heck have you been? Francesco and I (and his wife and family) have stuffed ourselves with turkey, and just an hour ago we were commenting on how we were wondering where you have been! Whatzzup? Now to the point, I fail to see how candid portrait fails this test. Candid and portrait are opposites in my book, contradictory and absurd as a combination. Like jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, and more erudite combinations if it weren't so late that I can't think of them.
