Gutman shaking hands with president Obama ©sanderdewilde.com I did photograph US ambassador Gutman several times, and he always seemed to be one of the most motivated ambassadors ever seen. He even did visit all communities of Belgium,&nbsp;more than 500, just to show his genuine interest into his guest-country Belgium. Is it always the expressive extravert people who get accused of things happening in their personal life just because they are known and extravert ?&nbsp;I don't know why but I have sympathy for him, especially because he is so human. Have a look at the picture down here, yawning at the yearly Belgian Royal military parade.&nbsp;Yawning with both hands in his pockets. I don't see other ambassadors do that, but those Americans just do it, all though they know about a 100 photographers are at the other side of the parade ready with their tele lenses! <img class="size-full wp-image-5458" alt="Howard W.
