This is a tribute to one of the great portrait photographers of the past century: Yousuf Karsh. He made famous portraits of Fidel Castro, Churchill and Kennedy. This one is inspired by the famous Kennedy portrait by Yousuf.
Take a look at the cigarette, that is a reference to the Humphrey Bogart picture, also by Karsh.

And let's not forget Rembrandt and Caravaggio who inspired us all.

By the way, this is me and this is #1a/52 for 52 weeks.

JFK by Karsh
