@shriramk wait, that’s clearly the same backdrop and outfit for the Paul Erdos photo on Wikipedia. So I presume that is the other one you took?

@tealeg Haha, that's funny! In fact the Wikipedia label says "Paul Erdős at a student seminar in Budapest (fall 1992)", which was a year later. I can see why it would be the same background, and I think he tended to wear the same clothes. I do have well-focused photos of him, at least as good as the Wikipedia one, but with other people in the frame who would be hard to crop out…
