Rich
Rich Rosenthal is founder and President of the Max Restaurant Group, which operates restaurants in central Connecticut (and Springfield, Mass., which is one good basketball throw from Connecticut). The Max restaurants run the gamut from steak-and-expense-account, to fish, to Italian, to burgers. Each is highly successful and terrific within its genre. Here is a link to a previous post about the Max restaurants.
This is my first portrait since getting back to Connecticut. I raised my camera to take the photograph when the sky was cloudy and the colors in Rich's face were even. Just as I started to focus, the sun came out, made Rich squint, and split his face between harsh light and deep shadow. I must be rusty.
We have a Max chain in Sweden, but they sell mostly burgers. You have to be quick sometimes when you shoot street portraits!
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the squint, but it's still a successful portrait, I think.
ReplyDeleteA very nice business man and you got a beautiful portrait!

He still looks like a nice guy!
ReplyDeleteThese restaurant entrepreneurs have a very special gift for creating food establishments that thrive. We have a couple here in Phoenix and the minute they open a new place, the lines are around the block.
ReplyDeleteYep, he does still look like a nice guy, Jack, Great teeth!
ReplyDeleteMy compliments to the guy and to his history of success. Nomen omen...
ReplyDeleteI still like the portrait very much (I find street photography pretty tough!).
ReplyDeleteNice guy to pose for you, Jack! I hope he sees the result.
ReplyDeleteWell done to Max for what he has achieved and well done, you, for another great portrait :). Natural pose.
ReplyDeleteNice meeting you, Rich. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteStill a good portrait Jack .... a successful business person who's also a nice guy.
ReplyDeleteGood portrait, Jack!
ReplyDeleteStill a good portrait!
ReplyDeleteNice portrait.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever get to one of the special dinners that were being advertised last summer Jack?
ReplyDeleteLove the photo, even with its "imperfections" which I wouldn't have noticed because he's smiling.
