I'm taking a few days off here to relax and play. We're photographing live theater at Esther's Follies tomorrow. Got some portraits to do on Friday but I'm just coasting through to the end of the month. No big trajectory yet figured out. Just swimming, fun shooting, dinners with friends and other chilled out activities... enjoy the snaps.

That's Billy Frank, Sr., in the second photo.
Good eye! And....yes.
They are all wonderful, but I've always thought the Kinky Friedman portrait was absolutely superlative. I love the tilt of his hat and the angle of the cigar!

What an awesome greatist hits collection! Some I've seen, some I haven't. All are wonderful!
Wonderful portrait portfolio. I especially like your photos of Martin and Renae.
OK. Very interesting. But now we have to know about your "new" style!
Wonderful portraits. That's quite a diverse range of cameras. I found myself not really caring which camera was used for which shot. I've been studying Henry Wessel lately and I'm inspired to try a softer, lower-contrast approach to my black and white photography. Apparently, he used one camera, one lens and only tri-x for most of his career. I don't care for some of his work but I am learning a great deal from his approach and his thought process.
Sorry, that should have been Billy Frank, *Jr.* A statue of him will be soon placed in the National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol, as one of Washington's representatives. The state arts council issued a RFP for it in May.
As usual I am in awe of your portraiture. However, nothing comes even close to how much tenderness comes through in your portraits of Belinda and Ben.
Thank you so much for sharing,
Jon
A remarkable and fun retrospective, proving yet again that the best portrait photo is taken with the most expensive camera, the photographer being merely a button pusher.
A wonderful gallery.

Each of these is worth a thousand words!
Great collection. The Italian guy with the espresso is my pick.
I recognize Michio Kaku, but not the others.

Good eye Jeff. I have photographed Dr. Kaku a number of times as he's been a speaker for several different tech corporations. He's ultra interesting...
By its self this is an amazing body of work. So human and warm. Very intimate. You've done well.

It’s great, thanks for sharing.
Kudos. Respect, Regards.

I was expecting (hoping?) you were going to include the image of the resting butterfly on the child’s finger in this series.
Ah, the butterfly on the little girl's finger. I thought to include it but I've gotten so tired of trying to convince people that I didn't just glue a prop butterfly there... sadly.
Great stuff. Especially coupled with the portrait portfolio from this gallery: http://kirktucksportraits.blogspot.com
