The circumstance in which I created this photograph was kind of odd. Andrea and I were out in the hall and she happened to have both the hat and glasses with her at that time, and when she put them on, of course it looked funny, but then when she made the serious face directly at the camera, I knew that it was a great portrait. It has both a funny and serious aspect in it, and it creates an almost ironic image.
Before I took this picture, I was trying to figure out who and what I should photograph, then suddenly I saw my brothers portrait from his art class and I thought, man, that would make a great photo! I decided to have my brother next to the painting making the same face. I thought it made the image more interesting and cool. I also thought it was funny to see how my brother had painted himself a year or two earlier next to himself later. The comparison was very cool!
