sam is pretty shy in front of the camera, i had to twist his arm to get him to stand still for about 5 seconds for this shot :)

Another great B&W portrait. Could have been a little darker for my liking (i.e. something around density of the image), but then again, that's just personal taste. Heh, also I can relate to a preference of being behind the camera....... ;)

Wonderfully exposed - I love the 50mm for portraits - great DOF and I like the blown out background - great for not distracting from the main image.

Nicely shot portrait, the framing could be better but the character is all there and there's lots of detail to enjoy.

Super photo of Sam. Googling old friends from the BI days and it is a nice surprise to see that Sam has aged quiet well! Give me a buzz if you see this Sam! CarterClough@yahoo.com
