Just know I'm awe-struck at this photo, and at your gift. His ever-so-slightly raised eyebrow is so perfect. I'm not crazy but I love Alvin.

Sandy, dear, you put me to shame with your people on the street portraits. I don't have the nerve to go up and ask people to let me take their picture, let alone find out their stories! I'm humbled! And this is awesome.

Love this so much. The white on his face and those whiskers - geeeez, Louise. She/he just fades into the background as if magically appearing. It's spectacular.

Amazing. I may be wrong, but I don't think you can look like that with an empty head.

Wow, Sandy, a lot of depth in Alvin's face. Beautiful as ever, of course. My wife works with these people full time. I don't know how she does it. They need more than anyone can give them.

I'm not sure I really like the vignette. For my taste, it's a little too obvious, and it seems to have caused some sort of color shift on the upper right.

But really, it's all about the face. Yes.
