I first 'met' Armando Alvarez early in his experience with Flickr and I believe I was one of his earliest contacts. Lucky for me! He is a genuinely talented photographer whose photos are always superb and often stunning in their honesty. He is a strong image maker in all genres but his portraits are particularly joyous. I recently commented that his portraits often make me break out in a smile and leave me feeling happy for hours ... this is a great gift and I thank him for that. Take some time to peruse his entire photostream .... your will be rewarded immensely for the experience.
