Very nice Colin, beautiful exposures. I love the beautiful colors, and the nice relaxed expressions you were able to pull out of your subjects.

Wonderful portraits Colin!

One has to wonder how these folks are coping now with all the fallout from the pandemic…

Again just phenominal photography Colin! The women have great character in those worn faces. Your backgrounds just compliment each woman and frame! Exposures are always just "nailed"!

Excellent shots. Like the others before me, I like the bright colours and pleasant expressions. Cropping in tight worked very well in these shots, adding emphasis to your subjects and eliminating backgrounds.

I love your work, Colin. Well done. As mentioned above, as much as I love the bright colors, I think a B&W would be nice too. #1 & 5 are my favorite.

Thanks all.

It's unlikely that I will ever get back to India, as I have recently been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). Needless to say this has been devastating, as I am a "young" 59 year old who's never smoked, was athletic, and maintained a good diet. This death sentence strikes indiscriminately, and the general prognosis is 2-5 years to live. They don't know what causes it, and there is no cure.

I presently have no desire to pick up the camera, as I feel like, "what's the point?" Perhaps that will change in time, I don't know.

I will likely be shutting down (or selling) my sign business at some point soon, but may continue if my symptoms progress at a slow rate. We will also likely need to sell our house as our present home is not wheelchair friendly and would cost too much to alter. The yardwork and upkeep would also be too much for my wife to do by herself. Many major decisions to be made.

The two worst things about this disease is not knowing the speed at which my decline will be, making it impossible to know how to plan ahead, but also the thought of my dear, sweet wife having to go on without me. I haven't been able to sleep, so now taking a sleeping pill.

While I would recognize the kindness, care and support that any offerings of "prayer" would come from, please refrain, as prayer does nothing in this or any other event. Prayer is pure, 100% superstition.

I recently came across this video of a guy in the eastern States who's had a very similar life journey as I, and I would invite you to watch it. I spoke with him for an hour on the phone the other day:
