I love this. It reminds me of a painting or drawing. I love her natural, disheveled hair and freckles. She looks so fresh-faced and all-American!

Great series!! This one's my favorite. I love the "in-your-face", larger than life feel of this one. And those eyes. Whoa!

I love this one. Love it. But I think the ribbon winning challenge entry because the eyes seem to be more closed in this one. It's awesome tho!

Do you have your vintage shoot posted anywhere? I'd love to see the whole thing. You are so good at that type of photography. My daughter-in-law wants to do a vintage shoot. I think they may even rent some vintage clothing. I'd love to see what you did. Your daughter is so breathtakingly beautiful. And so comfortable with the camera. This would be my favorite shoot too I'm sure -- which from your gallery of amazing portraiture, that's saying aLOT! :)

:( Sigh. I'm sad for Lou. How shocking to lose a wife so unexpectedly. I think you conveyed the mood of the situation very well. I guess it just wasn't enough eye candy to get the voters to give it the score it deserves. Your commenters certainly got it tho didn't they?

Ooooh, I love this one. The lighting is so dramatic. I really love that slight smile. It gives him a macho, but contented air about him. Fabulous job as always. . . but. . . You always have such great stories to go with your amazing portraits. What's the scoop????
