Sir,
I have enjoyed your "Strangers" series from the beginning. You have most certainly refined your art in many ways. Your composition, attention to backgrounds, lighting choices, post processing, b&w conversions have gotten soooo consistently good! Even more than I envy your tastes and skills as a photographer, I absolutely covet your ability to connect with your subjects and elicit such relaxed, natural poses and expressions.
What I always love about your images is that they reveal something about the subject and make you want to know more about that person and keep looking at the photograph. There are not a lot of images posted here I can say that about. In almost every case, I prefer the black and white version when given a choice.
