A photographer named Joey Kennedy immortalized Philip Tramdack in the striking portrait seen above describing Phil as; "A great man with unique vision". I have no clue who mister Tramdack is. Joey's caption said that Phil loves his couch and fought hard to preserve it, which appears to be inspiration for the portrait. There's a whole lot of couch and very little Phil.
Only moments after Joey Kennedy posted this portrait on his Flickr photo site the entire world had the opportunity to become aware of Phil Tramdack. A lifetime ago someone like Phil would have come and gone as a complete stranger to most of the planet.
I feel so fortunate to be alive in this extraordinary time that allows us to expand our own unique vision and extend our voice to places we could never have reached before. Today I know who Phil Tramdack is and now you do too. Joey showed us that Phil really matters. So do you, even if we all don't know it yet. Thanks Joey.
I love that I get to 'meet' so many people over the net. I also get to meet more people with interests like my own. Who knew there were so many other people into vintage aprons, paint by numbers and vegan baking.? And just so you know, you guys already mattered to me way before this new fangled computer thing became so popular with the kids.

Just for the record, I'm his sister the photo is great, quite a vision indeed. My brother is a starship captain who makes use of his spare time to run the library at Slippery Rock University. - Stephanie Tramdack Cash

Phil is unique and I never knew he had such loyalty to his couch. Great picture.
