About the Photographer
"A portrait, by definition, should portray.  It should go beyond showing just a view of the face- it should reveal the soul of a person.  Anyone with a camera can take a 'picture', but it takes a special degree of sensitivity to create an image that stirs the emotion of the viewer."
