Viewed from slightly below in a cowboy shot, a slightly stooped mature man in his sixties stands behind an angled wooden lectern. His body is turned three-quarters toward the left, but his face is angled toward the front, his gaze darting thoughtfully off to the side with narrowed dark eyes behind rectangular wire-rimmed spectacles. His right hand reaches up to scratch the hair at the back of his crown with curled fingers, lifting a few unruly dark and silver-streaked strands, while his left hand rests lightly with flattened palm against the slanted top of the lectern. His mouth is set in an idiosyncratic, self-deprecating closed-mouth smirk, creasing deep laugh lines across his weathered cheeks and temples. He wears an untied, open-collared white short-sleeved dress shirt tucked firmly into high-waisted charcoal-grey slacks, secured with a plain black leather belt; two plastic ballpoint pens are clipped securely to the upper hem of his left chest pocket, slightly depressing the starched fabric. A slender matte black gooseneck microphone rises out of focus from the lower left foreground, crossing before his chest. Clear studio illumination from overhead panels casts crisp cast shadows directly beneath his jawline, shirt collar, and the lower rim of his glasses onto his cheekbones, while the clear lenses produce faint dual reflections of the ceiling fixtures. The background falls into a soft-focus haze of muted blue and grey press-room acoustic panels. Dryly pragmatic.
