People and Faces

I'm not going to lie, I don't like my picture being taken.  Maybe its because most people really don't know how to use their camera.  They keep their flash on and take the picture way to close.  As a result your coloring is way off and you got a big old "hot spot" on your face.  That and I hate to fake smile and inevitably the person taking the picture will say "Come on, SMILE!"  The result of this of course is a very fake, forced ugly smile.  So when I take peoples pictures I never tell them to smile...I just let them be who they are.  I really don't think anything is lost in this process.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I prefer it that way.  I understand people who don't like their pictures being taken, so when I do take peoples picture, I do the best I can to have them look good.
My brother.  I used a new technique on this one and am fairly pleased.
My little sister.  She is quite possibly the coolest girl you'll ever meet.
My good friend Tomasi at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.
Self portrait:  I look better in the dark.
Audio tour at Alcatraz.  What a cool place.
Not going to lie, I love the reflection in the glasses.  
Can't tell by the picture, but its at the Grand Canyon.
