Akuri Photo Gallery by Lawrence Ripsher at pbase.com

Akuri

The model here is my wife who I owe dearly for putting up with me and my constant harassment. Akuri, your patience is without limits, as is my thanks.

Update - after months of experimenting, exploring and receiving extremely helpful feedback, I have removed all sub galleries and will be maintaining just a single gallery of pics here from now.

I'm glad Craig "passed me on" :) because it allowed me to find this wonderful gallery. At once intimate, emotional and yet graphic, Vote.

Nice sentiments, Toshihiro. You're a very cool guy, Lawrence so yeah you deserve her as she does you! So great to have a willing and able model at your side. Sunday 3pm is my favourite so far: oh: oh, I've just spotted 'touch': going in for a look!

Toshihiro Oshima		01-Jun-2006 00:58
Oh! She is your wife!!? :o What a wonderful model you have as your own partner! I won't say you are "lucky" as I think you really deserve to be in the way you are:)) Wonderful Gallery! Voted!

Thanks for the wives. I often use my wife as a reluctant model as well. Beautiful model/wife and gallery.

Jimmy Sng		05-Mar-2006 05:47
brilliant series - takes to know your wife a lot to be able to capture the right moments later

Chuck Inglefield		10-Jan-2006 18:45
Fantastic work so far....Chris is right, you are a luck man for all of the state reasons....it must be fun to work on this for both of you. Not being a very good portrait photographer (if fact, i'm very bad in this area), I don't feel confident it offering critiques, other than to say I like the non-standard , real life poses and creativity with your processing.

chris		06-Jan-2006 16:50
You are an exceptionally lucky man to have a mate as graceful, thoughtful, and beautiful, willing to pose for you or allow you the honor of capturing her candidly. My warmest regards to you both for a wonderful New Year.
