Wow, that photo does have an awesome Vermeer quality. Great find.

I found the first Murray column I remember reading, on the US Open at Pebble Beach, from 1982, and yes, it’s got a kickass lede: http://tinyurl.com/ylkkmg8

Cool, Alex, glad you enjoyed it! I found it uncanny: the light, the mood, the globe, the desk, the solemn musing off into the distance…

Jim Murray and Vermeer: A GOOD COMBINATION!

Dude, thanks for these, I’m swiping The Geographer and going to put it in the post.

You da man!

Wow. That picture reminded me instantly of Vermeer. It’s nearly uncanny:
