Dear Steve, beautiful portraits of beautiful faces which are rendered with empathy and warmth and realism, as well. A difficult balance achieved well. Keep them coming, sir and more importantly - keep shooting them. Reminds me a bit of shooting my Uncle T's Living Wake Party - they were images shot with all my heart and all my love - though not shot this well. The Portraits you've share convey love. Your photographic craft is excellent, of course, but rather than shouting it's achievements boisterously it's quietly subtly powerfully singing the symphony of your subjects. Bravo.
