exactly... I wrote my incoherent mini-review during the first 1/4 of my
first cup of coffee at 5 something this morning.

I wanted to say that out of focus face shots of a political candidate do not
give any impression of the candidate's character; which is an uphill ride
for a fringe candidate (that is..... to convince the mainstream that the
candidate has character and is not a "character").

I enjoyed looking at your photography, but I sure would'nt vote for this
guy.  He appears to be a kook.
