I have only seen the images you submitted to the gallery for the past year or so and I've been to your web site. I agree that the strong iron work (to me) is not indicative of your subjects. The images that I remember well are mostly stone buildings but, like the ironwork in your portrait, they are rather ornate and classic in style. There was that glass and steel city shot a while back that I really liked and the underwear billboard but they seem to be an exception to the norm. What I find really interesting about your portrait is that you are more or less a silhouette or a shadow and that is the other thing I think of from your work. You have had a run there of shots taken with the digital spy camera of yours. The people in the coffee shop, the squinty-eyed doorway standing gent and the couple on the wall come to mind not to mention the entire section on couples on your web site. To get those shots you either need to be able to run very fast or appear to your subject as nothing more than a shadow. I picture you more as a shadow than a sprinter although looking at your portrait you look like you could probably do quite well in a pair of sensible shoes. These are probably pretty superficial reasons and as I say based upon what is probably a very small sub-set of your work but I'm a superficial guy and that's all I have to go on. All I know for sure is that as soon as I saw your portrait I said 'Oh yeah, that's perfect'. Greg PS - I think I may have misspelled your name in my last post and if so, I apologize eh.
