Your welcome Have a look at my blog I have done quite a few Portraits myself In my own Style.Maybe it will help to see things from a different point of view.
Have you ever thought about publishing an e-book or guest authoring on other
blogs? I have a blog centered on the same topics you
discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information.
I know my viewers would enjoy your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an
