Portrait.

Here, very recently, I've wanted to try my hand at taking pictures of people. Most of my photography to-date has been devoid of human life. Not that there is anything wrong with either method - but there has been an itch in my viewfinder for a more "personal" aspect. I think people are very interesting...I just didn't think I had the chops to take pictures of them in a way that I considered "artistic" (candids are great...but I don't want to shoot them).

My friend Will was wanting a new picture for his blog and he asked me to snap a shot (or ten). I took advantage of the moment to try my hand at photographing flesh-and-blood. I'll be honest...I'm pleased with the results. (More on Flickr)
