Every so often I'm approached with a commission that I'd rather not do, but am not in a position to turn down. Somebody's great grandmother or a wedding album photo, maybe even a photo of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel sitting next to a boy in pumpkin costume. Taken with a flash. You do what you can with these, and try not to resent it too much--they do pay the bills. But NEVER, ever sign them. In fact, I'm not even going to show a picture of this one because I definitely don't want THAT showing up in my works catalogue.
