I looked at these once again, though most I have already seen... just beautiful....it's even hard to select a favorite or two...
but your work is so sensuous, and so about the color, that I feel... the color itself in fact, does interfere with appreciation of the soul that is present in most of these,

But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!” Mine for a great number of years. Thanks for asking and your compliment.

"If you're photographing in color you show the color of their clothes - if you use black & white, you will show the color of their soul"If you did, good one. If not, do you know who did? Dave
