the mick 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Doug, once again you've stopped me in my tracks. I could write a book while staring at this wonderful portrait. You have a gift, my friend, a real gift. Link to comment
Mike Marcotte 50,132 Posted February 1, 2008 ALL the girls like Doug. He won't say why. Doug, I like this one too. It's a nice backround, I think the color of the bricks naturally compliment her complexion & the color of her hair. The dof is good, she's natural & relaxed, & those eyes are fantastic.

bosshogg 4 Posted February 1, 2008 It never ceases to amaze me how you get these to look so natural. I can't even make a portrait of my grandkids and make it natural. Something about you must make people trust you implicitly. And many of these folks probably know how you make a living! LOL Seriously though, I don't think it is the technical level so much as the human level that makes your portraits so damn good. Chalk up another success here my friend. Link to comment
dberryhill 3 Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks fellows. For some time now, I've gone on photo shoots disguised as a short, bald, oldish guy. I've found that this usually eliminates any uneasiness on the part of the subjects. Link to comment
dberryhill 3 Posted February 2, 2008 Keep in mind that in a small town like mine, the local folks are sort of an extended family. Jessie has waited on me a bunch of times at a local restaurant, and we talk. She knows that I think she's bright, caring and lovely. And I know about her job, her son, her parents, and her boyfriend in Hawaii. It wasn't a big deal to take a walk on an old street in town and take pictures while we chatted. I just told her that I didn't want her to pose, and that I wanted to see the real Jessie, with whatever she was feeling at the time. She was tired and had a migraine headache. Link to comment

wingell 0 Posted May 2, 2008 This is an awesome portrait. Everything about it works. A waitress? I think I need some coffee. Best...Bill Link to comment
dberryhill 3 Posted May 2, 2008 Thank you Bill. I eat far more greasy food than I should. But . . . Link to comment
