Audrey Reid PM reply 10-Mar-2007 16:42
You really are gifted with informal portrait photography. Just about all your models' expressions speak with the camera/photographer easily and comfortably, sounds easy but takes 'people' skill that comes from the heart. Lucky you for having it.

Good set of vivid portraits.
I know I´m the damned aesthete, or the lonely wolf that like to be alone in my opinions and options.Your Gallery is very good. OK.
But why you did not present it in color ? I love portraits, I love color.No matter who is right or wrong.Those only are opinions.
Cheers,
