Your post resonates with me for many reasons!
As well, I'd sooner take a photo of Don and his three heavies/associates looking super focussed - even with the bad lighting - than a bunch of Canadian, toe-kissing ethics committee dead wood types, that show all of their perfectly aligned teeth in a photo shoot knowing all too well that they sat on this for months!
And yup, you gotta know that I love that other shot as well! The lady with that impressive position, as well as two of her associates from that ministry...looks like some good chemistry there!
