This new life of mine is measured in countless, blessed and beautiful moments captured in photographs. The most pivotal one called 'December Gazing" and this one above of me infront of Buddy Guy's louge/club in Chicago July 2007 taken shortly after embarking on the greatest trip of my life, a trip and adventure to last a lifetime. Photography saved me in so many ways and now, for what it's worth, I live and breathe it. At a time when everything was out of control photography was the only thing I had control over. It's taught me to be/live in the present and not only capture but truly appreciate and savour the moment.
It's no wonder I'm rather passionate about photography; it lead me to Marshall, (a.k.a PhrankPower) the love of my life. Never did I ever dreamed or dared imagine I'd ever come to experience, let alone, dwell happily with a love of this breath and depth. I feel truly blessed and at times as Ebenezer Scrooge said "I don't deserve to be this happy!"
The galleries here continue to inspire me to do better as a photographer and to dream bigger dreams. The world is a vast beautiful and wild place, I thank you all for sharing pictures of your world and life. I appreciate your views and time. Comments for improvement is always appreciated and welcomed.
And be sure to... "Live like there's no tomorrow, love like you've never been hurt, dance like no one's watching."

Well I like the crop, but then again I would, wouldn't I? Beautiful portrait - and lady too!

Beautiful subject; Check. Beautiful Angle: Check. Awesome light: Check. Great background - yeah that's there too. I don't think there's much to improve.

A lovely close up portrait, but perhaps a little too close? To me it feels like it needs a little more room to breath, perhaps more of the background.

MHO: Either stick with Kort's advice, or get closer to the eyes. My experience is if the eyes can do a stand alone capture, leave out as much detail of the face. These eyes are well lit. Excellent capture.

What a wonderful portrait. Portraits are indeed quite challenging but I like this one just the way it is.
