You seem to have a real knack for winning people over, a real gift in portrait photography! Have to be careful on the narratives though, Webshots seems incapable of translating so much of what we take for granted - especially apostrophes!

Hi My favorite portrait is "Hint of a smile". My email is gerrysartinspirations@net zero.net I am a wannabe artist, just beginning over after being away from the canvas for 15 years. My forte was flowers, I hope one day to be able to paint flowers as vibrantly as you photograph them, they are beautiful. Sincerely, Gerry

Hi Pat! Loved your portraits. I like them too to be spontaneous. Did your number of views also decrease with some 60% in the last couple of weeks? Andybandi's no of views decreased with the same percentage as well as the views of a couple of friends of mine.. I asked Webshots if and how they changed the system, but they keep telling nothing has changed.... Greetings Anna

Hi Patrick, You have taken some wonderful pictures of the people in Vietnam and Laos. It is hard to pick a favorite, but I think the children are my favorites, such beautiful faces. Sandy

said sbrown5983 2003.11.22 at 19:00:48 PST

What incredible faces! You really did an incredible job capturiing character in people. Would love to have the chance to go there and see if I could do as well as you. Tighten up on the close ups and do more off angles instead of straight forward shots. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work. wmcaroline louisiana USA.

Good photojournalism. Thank you for sharing it.

said vita4all 2003.08.21 at 07:14:04 PDT

You have a wonderful album. I came across it by accident, but I'm glad I did. Your photos are inspiring, I was looking for some inspiration for a painting I wanted to do and I feel like I have found it . Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos and for the inspiration. My favorite is - I'm having lunch -

said redlipshtick 2003.07.13 at 15:33:10 PDT

A smart idea to create an album with portraits. You managed to take pictures of interesting faces without loosing the characteristics. Well done. Cheers, Strobelix

said strobelix 2003.06.07 at 14:45:07 PDT

I truly enjoyed your portraits, but especially the Happy Vietnamese Lady. In fact, I liked it so much that I did a graphite sketch based on your photo. You can see it along with others at http://community.webshots.com/user/barnchaser. I'm looking for additional photos of interesting faces as I develop my skills in this medium. Thanks for sharing!

Thumbs up....Great pics, almost talking. What is the garbage city is that a real name.

said pcjet 2003.02.11 at 13:11:09 PST

The faces of the orphans are nearly more than one can bear....to know they have no one. Vietnam must be a very interesting place....I would love to see it for real, but your photos are great...thank you.

what is the garbage city ? what do u mean by that

said shayal 2003.01.06 at 15:45:44 PST

Some of the best facial photos that I have seen in a while. I look at what is being conveyed in the face and body in terms of presence, and these photos have some wonderful messages. Thank you for sharing them. I will be back for a visit. I think that I would like to use one of them for a poem if that is o.k.? benlames

said ben 2002.11.28 at 06:24:12 PST

Interesting idea. Too old or too young faces always impress. Looking forward to seeing more of them. Thanks.

said baltiri 2002.11.21 at 07:16:07 PST

Some lovely faces both old and young. My favourite would be the old Veitamese Ladies hint of a smile. Greetings from New Zealand.

Many thanks for sharing your photos. They meant a lot to me. Danang is where I was born and raised until my manhood. I really missed the Marble Mountain where I and my friends hang out during weekend.

Hi!Very nice,personal pictures!!I like most the first one,Happy lady..

Nice album. Interesting faces. thanks.

said adrian_stephens 2002.08.19 at 08:08:24 PDT

A couple of things that would give you more pleasure in your portraits: All your subjects are dead center in your frames. Rule of thirds would help. Secondly, don't be afraid to ZOOM IN TIGHT on some of those faces that interest you. I like your work & am jealous of your traveling opportunities. John, South Carolina

said diveniks 2002.08.12 at 16:58:53 PDT

You seem to have a real knack for candid portraits. Your subjects are obviously comfortable with you.

said monkeypuzzle7 2002.07.24 at 17:37:30 PDT

Astounding faces! A few touristy shots, but most of this album you could blow up, frame and sell as commercial quality stuff. Nice work.

said 2002.07.21 at 21:34:41 PDT

Happy lady, Danang, Curious street seller, and street urchins in Cairo are my favourites. I will have to do the same from my photos .. when I learn how to scan them. Thanks for the "trip"

I really, really like this album. face shots are great.

Happy, haunting, genuine, refined, rustic, street-wise, innocent. Just a few of the emotions you have captured so well. A powerful collection. Melinda R
