How Ricardo portrayed me

These photos were taken by the late Ricardo Schütz in Southern Brazil in 2008 and 2009 respectively, whether in Santa Cruz do Sul or at some other place in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, I do not know for I see these pics in 2026 {Elsa, Ricardo's daughter, sent them to me}, for the first time.

All three pics radiate an attentiveness that I rarely see in photos of myself. Needless to say, I feel pleased for this is precisely how I like to see myself.
