After Christmas I weighed in at 130kg - does this mean I'm what Frieder
charming calls a 'wide angel'?
Doug is no oil painting, Chris, but he's not as ugly as my butt! Plus, he
travels and I've told him where you are and what you said!
Glad you liked this one. I've got one of the school janitor in a top-hat
that worked well too - post it soon. Big-nose portraits work really well
sometimes but not always - it helps if the subject has a face with
'character' already, I've found. Slight changes of approach also make a big
difference. None of them have yet licked, or even kissed the lens. Still
trying to get a good 'catch-light' in the eyes - a bit close for fill flash!
Andrew
Thanks for the kind comments.
