Phil -
Thanks so much for giving me your take on these things. Yours seems
especially visceral and direct.
It's funny; in general I feel that if it's not a shot of either someone
you know, a celebrity or some stunning specimen of their gender then
usually what the viewer needs is to see the subject doing something (as
in Ted's "Light-Eyes-Action" prescription.) Also, I suppose there are
always those "high charachter" faces that work well in snaps.
But in this case if any semblance of a story comes across in these
sparse headshots that would certainly be a good thing!
