One of the full-time staff at the Computer History Museum was so vocal about it when I took his picture that I develop a theory: people's idea of what they look like is often based on what they see most often--their reflection in a mirror. But a photo shows them as other people see them, and maybe that surprises them and puts them off. So, I tried an experiment with this guy. I made two 4x6 prints of the shot of him, one with a mirror-image reversal and left both on his desk with a note asking which he preferred. Alas, he didn't like either of them.
