Label Text:
The text of this image is: DUANE MICHALS SELF PORTRAIT BY STEFAN MIHAL If one day I should chance to meet me at a party, I wonder if I would like me? Would I notice that my ears were too big and that my bald head looked like an egg in the sunshine? Or would I find myself amusing and not be aware that my sentences collided in my haste to tell a bad joke. And later, when I heard that I had died, and someone asked me what I was really like, would I answer "Well, he seemed nice enough, but I really didn't know him very well".
