My Corner of New Hanover
The Eagle Scout
Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 15 July 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Jonathan Pfeiffer, Eagle Scout. I made this photo of Jonathan immediately following his Eagle Court of Honor, where he was presented with Scouting's highest rank. Less than 2 percent of all boy scouts make it to the rank of Eagle.
"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

Love the mono,atmosphere and lighting...the shadow across the chin/face is a bit distracting?

It's a fitting portrait for someone who just made Eagle Scout! Well done, Russ!
