 Seems that most want photographs of people, family in particular, when they're young and fresh, but not when the character has built in to make things more interesting. Think about it...do you have a nice photograph of your dad when he's 70? Provided you're old enough to have a dad that's reached that age? Do you even want one?

I do. This here is a real senior portrait.

These expressionless portraits seem to capture the essence of your subjects without the superficiality of the expression obscuring whats inside. Powerful stuff.

Very nice portrait, but I'm not crazy about the plain white background -- it's hard on the eyes.

hello dad, he looks like someone who is comfortable with himself and the world.

Wonderfully kind expression. I love the catch lights in his eyes. For some reason, I wish he were centered in the shot. Love the play of light and shadow. 7
