Curtis, that portrait of Jesse and his daughter is great. I like when the subject isn't looking at the camera.

Curtis - I've been following the whole series on Flickr. I was going to comment on each individually - but you're so aloof on Flickr that I wasn't sure you'd even see it. I thought many of the pics were standard children's birthday parties - but the weird thing was that having seen Jesse over the years - all those shots made me feel something of what it was like to be there. Photographically speaking - I admired you using the 55mm f1.2SC - manual focus at a kid's party is a brave choice - and congrats for getting focus on some of the movement shots, like the shots of Jesse's daughter running.
Lestor - love the shot of the little girl - to me it's the B & W pp that makes it.
Jay - all that white paint in that cottage shot must have been a nightmare to balance out with the other colours.
Kristian - your family obviously likes to raise their arms for portraits - or is that you directing them?
