Pauly,
I agree with those guys, you've put some kickass images in here recently.

paulyrichard · 05-07-2009, 03:18 PM

Cheers 9thumbs.

The oblique angle of his his head and the cropped head really draws you to the powerful eyes and gaze. An outstanding shot.

Have seen many of your pics scattered all over this forum and continue to enjoy what the DA 16-45mm can do in your skilled hands.

Jimbo · 05-07-2009, 08:50 PM

WOW! That's all I have to say. JIM

Talk about conveying emotion!

Just looking at that pic, we instantly know that Mr. Simon has had better days in his life...

First, another great portrait. But i want to make an observation, if you don´t mind. Most of your portraits are taken from a high position. So the homeless has to look up. This position creates a feeling of distance, submissiveness. I would like to see more portraits with the lens at the eye level. Or even down, giving them the dignity that they have as human beings. Sorry for my english. And i stress is only my humble opinion. Anyway, you are doing a fantastic job

roentarre · 05-08-2009, 01:46 AM

Another up front close and personal. Good capture again.

Thanks guys.

Roentarre, I am aware of what your sayin'. I need to vary my approach sometimes otherwise my portraits will look the same. Not all my portraits are like this, only 3 out of 9 are taken slightly from above.
I'm not sure if you have seen all of my portraits.

I appreciate what your sayin'.

Here are a few more:
