The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.
My experience: As soon as people know there is a camera the result will/can not be authentic.
When this photo was taken Celena knew there was a camera, while the Corkonian with great taspey on himself did not. And that makes the difference. Sláinte!
A lovely candid photo.
