Here we have a very good friend and a member of the President's guard engaged in conversation in the Presidents salon at Beit ed-Dine. I'll leave it to you to figure out which is the member of the guard and which is the very good friend! ;~}
@grammyn thank you Katy at first i was not sure as your title threw me a bit what she does best i thought it may have been a reporter that you knew that works in America
@gerry Oh I could see how that might be confusing! Ruth almost always engages her subjects before or after she shoots them and it is what she does best with her photography!
Great portrait(s)! He seems casually dressed for being in the President's guard. Guess I am sued to the suits and earpieces worn by the Secret Service here... though maybe they dress casually on occasion, too.
@marilyn He is just there to make sure no one damages the palace while the President ISN'T there! I imagine when he is things are a little less relaxed.
