I really like your work. I browsed the 85L gallery, with so many disapointing results, and many of your photos catch my eye (alongside those of fred_il). Your work pay hommage the master piece the 85L is.
Best regards.

I love your pictures of you wife, the way you soften her skin but keep eyes and hair so sharp. She is beatiful! I am still learning how to do all of that without making it look fake. You sure have mastered it. She shoul be a model!!!!
Hi Sam,
I'm quite thrilled to have discovered my photographic twin in candids!
It's astonishing how identical our techniques are:
> identical lenses and shooting at the 200mm end;
> shooting in open shade which produces superb modelling of facial features and expressions;
> apertures 3.5 - 4.0 (you are more courageous at 3.5 close-up);
> slower speeds at tele (here you are even more courageous and successful!);
> attempting to capture unique and authentic personalities, expressions and situations.
You have a tremendous talent for portraiture.
I hope that you will expand your candid gallery substantially.
This would be a marvellous service to the PBase community.
So glad to have discovered your work.
Best wishes for your photography and life in general.
Your twin,
Ray .....
