Inspired (very) loosely on the character of “Sergeant X,” from JD Salinger’s, “For Esmé – with Love and Squalor.”

“X started to appologize, but changed his mind and reached for his cigarettes” (110).

Irving Penn (June 16, 1917 – October 7, 2009)

“A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart, leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective.”

- Irving Penn
