Yes, I am assuming, no, in fact I am guessing. What I do here is sharing my reactions towards what you tell in words and in what you tells in pixels. Those reactions are also based on our relationship, and my interpretation of the Shel you share here. No more, no less.
Off course you are the expert in this, you are the one who is there, I'm not.

Charley and I have talked about me as well. He seemed pretty relaxed when I grabbed that snap - remember, he was sick and that was certainly making him uncomfortable. However, sometimes it takes a while to establish a real trust, you're certainly right about that. In any case, a quick snap really doesn't tell the viewer much about relationships that are taking place between the photographer and the person being photographed. That's one reason why I didn't call the pic a portrait - it's far from that. Shel > [Original Message] > From: Tim Øsleby > Hi Shel. Charlie does not seem to relax.
