In this image, like most of your portrait work, you seem to make a real connection with your subject. I find it a very intriguing and very powerful picture. what is he thinking?, what has he seen? Very nice work – as usual.

  Thank you so much Frank. there is indeed a bit of mystery in his expressions. I didn’t notice then (in that 1/200th of a second or so) but that’s the beauty of a photograph – a frame frozen in time forever
