EVIDENCE

Last updated: next week.

I understand the impulse. A claim of this magnitude, one feels, ought to come with an exhibit. But consider what a photograph is: a flat, lit, two-dimensional reduction of a thing that is, in my case, best encountered in person, ideally at four o'clock, ideally near a window. I decline to be reduced.

That said, I am not unreasonable. A professional has been engaged. The professional has a process. The process, I'm told, involves lighting, which I bring; a camera, which they bring; and a date, which keeps moving for reasons on their end that I will not embarrass them by going into.

Sitting 1Postponed. Weather (indoors, somehow).
Sitting 2Postponed. The professional "needed to think about the light."
Sitting 3Took place. Results "being handled."
Sitting 4Scheduled for next week. Has been scheduled for next week for some time. This is called consistency.

In the meantime, the testimonials stand. A dentist has gone on record. A lighting professional has gone on record. My brother has gone on record, grudgingly, and grudging testimony is the most credible kind.

Evidence is for the unsure. I am including this page as a courtesy to them.
