Dear friends of mine, Allison and Ben, are expecting very soon and wanted some portraits done before the birth of their son.

These little fellows (Eastern Grey Kangaroos) seemed very keen to pose. I think the proud mum wanted a photo of herself & junior. :)
Orroral Valley, Namadgi National Park, A.C.T.
She was demonstrating in Dam Square with a small group of compatriots. Fighting for democracy in her homeland. A small-scale protest, but passionate nevertheless. Their handwritten protest signs were equally modest. The low late afternoon sun had just broken through the clouds and a yellow umbrella was brought out to filter the bright light. When I asked her if I could take her portrait, she promptly agreed and immediately began to pose and flash her most attractive smiles for the camera. Luckily, she was just as photogenic when she did not smile.
From the ongoing series “Pylon Portraits”:
Strolling through the heart of Amsterdam. Past many strangers. Shoulder to shoulder. Masses. I wonder if they are foreigners, locals, or maybe even people from my own town, or region? People with their own personal life stories, with fascinating social and cultural backgrounds. Are they affected by domestic or even political turmoil? Have they fled from something or someone to get here? Are they catching their breath, for a brief moment experiencing the pleasures of democracy and peace, looking for love and understanding?
I feel the need to speak with some of these strangers and get a taste of their personalities and histories. But what would we gain from a quick exchange of words, or even a couple of brief conversations? There is so much to tell. So much to be said. Where do you start? I have decided to leave the words for what they are. Instead, I ask people if I can take their portrait. I am always looking for striking personalities, people who stand out to me in a remarkable way, making me wonder who they are. Intriguing and perhaps even a bit mystical. This is an ongoing and personal project where I am attempting to capture glimpses of unique character and beauty. The people I portray don’t have to be “pretty” according to Western standards, and I don’t ask them to pose either. Their beauty is in their vitality, their personality, and in the look in their eye. Their age, gender, and origin don’t matter. The strangers I portray receive their picture by email. Even though I often get to know their names and ethnical backgrounds, I don’t feel the need to mention these things. Taiwan or China, Peru or Luxemburg, what does it really matter when it comes to their vitality and spirit? The place I ask them to stand when I take their picture, the step in front of the Pylon of the National Monument on Dam Square, is our porous symbol of resistance, liberation, peace, and new life.
Foster Care fortnight, launched in the Scottish Borders.
A banner of self portraits - created by 'One Voice', a group of children in foster care in the Scottish Borders.
I don't take and post self-portraits that often anymore unless it's strictly for art purposes. This is just a random shot I took of myself cause I was testing the settings. It's always fun to look throughout the years and see how much you have or haven't changed.

I believe this will be the last of the street portraits that I will post from June 21.
This is Dan, closet photographer, photographer wanna-be as he told me. We talked a little while about photography and what I look for in a potential street portrait. I told him, usually and older male with facial hair, glasses (sun glasses are best) wearing a hat with some nice lines on his face. We laughed as that is exactly what Dan had.
Well that's it....I got a couple other portraits but they just did not turn out the way i would of wanted them to. I will definitely be doing this again as I had a great time with everyone I met that night. I learned a lot about street portrait photography and how to talk with strangers, next time I will try to get more info on the people that I shoot to add a little more to their story.
