>>Check out that forehead.<<
Sign of great intelligence!!

Warren - this is a no-kidding, seriously great portrait! Reminds me a bit of a famous portrait of Bill Cosby in profile - basically a silhouette. I especially like the way the out-of-focus background forms a nice pattern, and the curlicues are just in the right place, almost like Eric is saying something.

Happy Chinese New Year to all my friends in the Bay Area!

Best regards,
SteveR

Thanks Steve! Nice to hear from you. Say, are you still editing those wedding shots? :P

Hi Warren,

I found the Bill Cosby photo I was thinking about - you can see it here:

It's by Life photographer John Loengard - so there you go, you're right up there with the great LIFE Magzine photographers! I think that your photo is as good and in some ways better than Loengard's, which is high praise indeed. Also, although Eric is famous in my book, you don't have he Annie-Liebowitz-celebrity-photo thing to fall back on - so your photo stands by itself.

Yes, I finished the wedding photos quite a while ago, but just haven't gotten around to taking any new photos until the last few weeks. I should have something to post soon.

Regards,
SteveR
