Jerry Wolinsky's walleye

摘要

Jerry Wolinsky, Emeritus Professor of Neurology at the University of Texas Health Science Center (Houston, TX, USA), sent me a picture of himself holding a walleye (Sander vitreus), caught at the Lake of the Woods in Ontario, Canada. Behind him is a hint of the landscape for which the area is renowned. I first thought it unsuitable for a Profile shot, but after our conversation I understood it in a new light, one that reflects Jerry's perception of his career: you can sometimes stand out against a landscape, but if the viewer draws back, you always become part of a bigger picture.
