It's been a long time since we saw each other. I think it's funny that we both meet as guitarist and later found our careers in the photo biz. I trust you are doing well. Your self portrait illustraits good composition. Use of the "rule of thirds" and leading lines. The gamma preserves good detail in the shadows as well as highlights. Be sure to check out my sight as well, prophototogo.com. We have been very fortunate and stay extremely busy. Take care and give a holla back.
