Terrific, Ken! Your self portrait needs to be hanging in a gallery.

I love this. My favorite is Leon. He has that twinkle in his eyes. They are all wonderful. I’m thinking a good writer good even do short stories about them.

Wow, that's so awesome to hear Monica. Charlie asked me to take a portrait. A few seconds later he sought out Leon and make sure he took the photo with him. I don't know the extent of their friendship, but it was enough for Charlie to make sure to include Leon. I didn't hesitate to photograph them.

Whenever someone sees me with the camera and asks if I can photograph them, my answer will also be yes.

Cheers!

All these portraits are perfect captures of the people in them. There’s so much vibrancy and depth to them. - As the saying goes, we are our own worst critics.

Thanks Evelyn. I'm glad you enjoyed the portraits. I still have momentary bouts of fear, but nothing to that keeps me from posting them now.

Cheers!

I can certainly relate to photo-fear. Completely unfounded here, though. Fab set, Kenneth, thanks for sharing.

Dealing with the "should I," "shouldn't I" has been aggravating to say the least. Thanks for the comments, so appreciated!

Excellent. Love these. Mohammad is my favourite but the self portrait picture is delightful, pleasing to the eye and full of humour

Glad to hear it April. As I walked by Mohammad, I was so intrigued and had to ask to take some photos. He was laid-back about, said "it's cool."

Cheers!
