Portraits and Lifestyles

I think posting a continuous stream of my photos will not only be good documentation, but will also help me to really see where I came from and what I am learning, what issues are still present…and also recall the simplicity of starting out, and hopefully not forget how powerful it can be.

Below are a few ‘people shots’ I have taken over the last…ahhh…in the past. I think they are chronological. Note: As my wife and I have very similar composition and shooting styles, some of these may have been her finger on the shutter - it is completely impossible for either of us to decipher sometimes.
Comments and critique always welcome.
