This author had such an influence on my life and the way I 'feel' about technology. A great moment for me to talk, shake his hand and snap this picture. 'Neuromancer' is really a milestone in sci-fi as well as 'Pattern recognition' (even though he refutes the sc-fi label for its later novels).

Best pic of the man I've seen. Well captured.
Love all the negative space you've left around the face, very fitting.
